Have you ever doubted God's love? Through trials, hardships, and sin, it can be tempting to doubt God's love for us. When we doubt God's love, we lose hope and joy vanishes. Paul directs our attention to the demonstration of God's love. That proof of love gives us reason to rejoice no matter what discouragements we face. If His love is sure, then we have hope, and that hope gives us joy.

We've all received instructions that seem impossible. In the Christian life, God's instructions can feel this way at times. But God's grace always supplies what His love compels. In Exodus 35:4-36:7, we encounter Israel. They are preparing to obey God's detailed commands for His dwelling place - the Tabernacle. It's a bit overwhelming. But God asks for willing hearts and then does the rest.

Life is full of obstacles, and they often get in the way of our faith. In Romans 4, Paul describes saving faith, we learn that faith takes God at His word over every obstacle. In this text, we look at the example of Abraham - who trusted the God "who gives life to the dead..." Paul encourages readers to trust - beyond all obstacles - that God justifies the sinner who has faith in the risen Savior.

Religions on earth teach that we must work for a better life, for salvation, etc. But God offers salvation to sinners as a free gift. It's free because Jesus paid it all. But salvation by faith isn't just an easy way to be saved, it is the only way to be saved. Having introduced the gospel - God's saving righteousness to all who believe - Paul explains that sinners are justified by faith alone.
