Righteousness

Meditation:
“Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness” (Galatians 3:6).

Explanation:
So many people today are looking for ways to be righteous or to be in “right standing” with God. The Bible simply says that when we believe God, that’s righteousness. The proof, or evidence, of our faith in Him is found in our actions. The Bible says that faith without works is dead. That means, when we really believe something, our actions will support what we believe. Because Abraham believed God, he obeyed His word and left his father’s land even when he didn’t even know where he was going. In the same way, when we believe God, we have to leave some things behind in order to embrace the new life He has in store. As you let go of the old and, by faith, embrace God’s promises, know that He is leading you down paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake! Keep believing, keep stepping out, knowing that your best days are ahead of you. As you follow His leading, you’ll walk in righteousness and live the abundant life He has in store for you.

Katuwiran ng isang tao yan ang ibig ipakahulugan ng sitas sa itaas, at ito'y makakamit sa ating pananampalataya sa Diyos. Tama simple lang ang hinihingi pananampalataya. tiwala, pagkilala sa Diyos sa pangalan ng ating Panginoong Hesus. Subalit, diyan tayo lahat bumabagsak kapag pananampalataya na ang pinag-uusapan, sapagkat tayo'y nagsasabi lamang ng pananalig sa ating bibig subalit wala itong kalakip na gawa, na isang sangkap yun upang matawag na pananalig ang iyong sinabi. Ibig sabihin meron tayong gagawin upang mabuhay ang pananalig na ating sinasabi hindi lamang ito lumalabas sa bibig, kundi nakikita sa gawa. Yan ang ginawa ni Abraham kahit hindi niya alam kung saan siya pupunta ng inutusan ng Diyos, sumunod lang siya. Kaya sangkap ng pananalig ang pagsunod.

Father in heaven, today I choose to accept and believe Your Word by faith. Thank You for making me righteous and help me to follow You all the days of my life. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
