Listen

But the scripture that says it was credited to him wasn’t written only for Abraham’s sake. It was written also for our sake, because it is going to be credited to us too. It will be credited to those of us who have faith in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was handed over because of our mistakes, and he was raised to meet the requirements of righteousness for us.

Romans 4:23-25

Think

This scripture illuminates a timeless truth, revealing that Abraham’s faith was not only for his era but also for ours. It extends to all who believe in the God who resurrected Jesus. It’s like receiving an ancient treasure that transcends generations: the legacy of faith passed down to us from Abraham.

The passage underscores that Abraham’s faith isn’t confined to his time in history; it’s a legacy, an inheritance, shared across time. It’s like receiving an invaluable heirloom, a precious gift passed through generations. Jesus followed in the footsteps of Abraham’s faith. Then Jesus, handed over for our mistakes, rose to fulfill righteousness, securing this legacy of faith for all believers.

It’s an inheritance rooted in trust, a legacy that spans time and connects believers throughout history. Like a cherished family heirloom, each generation preserves and passes down this legacy of faith. Just as Jesus’ resurrection grants forgiveness and righteousness, it upholds this eternal inheritance of faith, embracing us into its timeless narrative.
