About Paul's letter to the Romans we heard more
Today Pastor Larry focused on chapter four
In the overall flow, this chapter seems to be a break
But using Abraham, several points Paul did make
From the word "faith", Pastor used each letter
To get across five key points even better
Father of faith is what Abraham became
From Genesis 12 or Romans 4:1, both the same
He discovered his faith through experience
Becoming the father of all, in the future tense
The message for us, it is plain to see
Is that bring circumcised is not the key
Abraham did not boast, per verse two
Although this is what the rabbis did do
Abraham trusted God, per verses four and five
His reward came by faith while he was alive
Reading from Ephesians 2:29 and Romans 3:27
We aren't saved by works but by grace from heaven
Inheritance of this blessing is in righteousness
His offspring were more than stars, not less
This point is important, Pastor Larry did us tell
The words in Genesis were quoted in Romans as well
In verses 6-9, righteousness is mentioned times four
Of God's blessings, we are carriers and more
Tested was Abraham's faith on occasions three
Even willing to sacrifice his son, for God to see
When we are tested, we should not walk away
It is a chance to grow our faith in another way
Abraham didn't waver; his faith was strong instead
Remember James 2 says faith without deeds is dead
Hoping against all hope, Abraham's actions were seen
This we can read in Romans chapter 4 verse eighteen
God always delivers, if we look at Hebrews 6:11 and 12
We must be diligent and from our faith never swerve
Proverbs says that giving up hope takes a big toll
Hebrews 6:19 says hope is an anchor for our soul
In a video testimony that we had not earlier seen
In a hopeless situation, God did clearly intervene
Evangeline Mok was able to turn her life around
Although she had to spend time in a prison ground
Paying for her past, she spread the word to all
Thus clearly responding to God's clarion call
Pastor summarised for us before we did leave
Blessings are for all who in Jesus believe
