MY WORD
Genesis 15:1–6 (AMP) 1 AFTER THESE things, the
word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am your
Shield, your abundant compensation, and your reward shall be exceedingly
great. 2 And Abram said, Lord God, what can You give me, since I am
going on [from this world] childless and he who shall be the owner and
heir of my house is this [steward] Eliezer of Damascus? 3 And Abram
continued, Look, You have given me no child; and [a servant] born in my house
is my heir. 4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
This man shall not be your heir, but he who shall come from your own body shall
be your heir. 5 And He
brought him outside [his tent into the starlight] and said, Look now toward the
heavens and count the stars—if you are able to number them. Then He said to
him, So shall your descendants be. 6 And he [Abram] believed in
(trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord, and He counted it to
him as righteousness (right standing with God).
Genesis 15:5–6 (The Living Bible) 5 Then God brought Abram outside beneath the nighttime sky and told
him, “Look up into the heavens and count the stars if you can. Your descendants
will be like that—too many to count!” 6 And Abram believed God; then God considered him righteous on account of
his faith.
Romans 4:1–8 (NKJV) 1 What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according
to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something
to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture
say? “Abraham believed God, and it
was accounted to him for
righteousness.” 4 Now to him who works, the wages are not
counted as grace but as debt. 5 But to him who does not work but
believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for
righteousness, 6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the
man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works: 7 “Blessed
are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; 8
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord
shall not impute sin.”
Galatians 3:6–14 (The Living Bible) 6 Abraham had the same
experience—God declared him fit for heaven only because he believed God’s
promises. 7 You can see from this that the real children of Abraham
are all the men of faith who truly trust in God. 8 What’s more,
the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would save the Gentiles
also, through their faith. God told Abraham about this long ago when he said, “I will bless those in every nation who
trust in me as you do.” And so it is: all who trust in Christ share the same
blessing Abraham received. 10 Yes, and those who depend on the
Jewish laws to save them are under God’s curse, for the Scriptures point out
very clearly, “Cursed is everyone who at any time breaks a single one of these
laws that are written in God’s Book of the Law.” 11 Consequently, it is clear that no one can
ever win God’s favor by trying to keep the Jewish laws because God has said
that the only way we can be right in his sight is by faith. As the prophet
Habakkuk says it, “The man who finds life will find it through trusting God.”
12 How different from this way of faith is the way of law, which
says that a man is saved by obeying every law of God, without one slip. 13
But Christ has bought us out from under the doom of that impossible system by
taking the curse for our wrongdoing upon himself. For it is written in the
Scripture, “Anyone who is hanged on a tree is cursed” (as Jesus was hung upon a
wooden cross). 14 Now God can bless the Gentiles, too, with this
same blessing he promised to Abraham; and all of us as Christians can have the
promised Holy Spirit through this faith.
[Please Note: Always Read the Word of God in Context asking
the Holy Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
