This morning, we are in Romans 4 and Paul reveals a different kind of acceptance...one based not on our parade of good works, but on...

God’s salvation language is belief/faith.

If God simply ignored sin, He would cease to be God

If your standing before God is a "gift"; (v. 24), why do you still live as if you are trying to pay Him back for it?

Am I relying on church attendance or family heritage rather than nurturing an active relationship with Christ?

We are settling for less than what we were made for.

Ask yourself...are you seeking meaning by connecting with God, or are you chasing different versions of self-fulfillment that leave you...

Truth is not overlooked because it's unclear, but because it's hard to accept.

Paul never forgot that he was a persecutor of the church. He was unworthy of the message, yet he was entrusted to carry it.

Pure motives are the backbone of truly amazing God-fueled service and ministry! What is motivating your heart?

Ask God to help you live with purpose and seek your identity in Him, rather than the world’s expectations.

To see as Christ sees is to understand his purpose.
