Romans 4:4-8 The Passion Translation
“4 When people work, they earn wages. It can’t be considered a free gift, because they earned it. 5 But no one earns God’s righteousness. It can only be transferred when we no longer rely on our own works, but believe in the one who powerfully declares the ungodly to be righteous[a] in his eyes. It is faith that transfers God’s righteousness into your account!
David’s Faith
6 Even King David himself speaks to us regarding the complete wholeness that comes inside a person when God’s powerful declaration of righteousness is heard over our life. Apart from our works, God’s work is enough. 7 Here’s what David says:
What happy fulfillment is ahead for those[b]
whose rebellion has been forgiven
and whose sins are covered by blood.[c]
8 What happy progress comes to them
when they hear the Lord speak over them,
“I will never hold your sins against you!”[d]Read full chapter”
Be Blessed!
