“Abram believed the Lord, and he credited to him as righteousness.” – Genesis 15:16
I know the verse. I’ve heard about grace, about faith versus works and the whole nine. I get the big deal about righteousness.
It means to be good, to do what’s right on God’s behalf. To be obedient and do what He has commanded. It means to be right, to be ever-striving toward perfection.
Doesn’t it?

Love this post, Cara. I needed to hear this. If I've heard it before I either forgot about it or it was never worded in such a way that it stayed in my mind and heart. Thank you for putting pen to paper once again and revealing truth about God, and about ourselves, that is relevant and much-needed. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know it resonated. I guess in a way this goes with my post on perfectionism... I put so much pressure on myself to be good and serve Him in the right ways and then exhaust myself trying to do it in my own effort, for the wrong reasons. I needed the reminder too, and I'm grateful He pointed this out to my striving heart.
