--- Sermon delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church on Sunday, July 24, 2022 at 11-15 am. -----All the way back in Genesis 15 Abraham believed God, yet at the time of his belief NOTHING happened. All God did was make a promise to Abraham.--Abraham gave God the credit for what he didn't do YET, but what God promised to do.--Abraham had a super-natural hope, not a natural hope.--Those weak in faith look at difficulties and problems, instead of God. God doesn't see problems.--Those strong in faith look to God as greater than difficulties and problems.--Abraham's righteousness was NOT the result of his young, healthy, fertile body. The Bible says- -body now dead-, regarding Abraham. And refers to the- -deadness of Sara's womb-.--The secret to justification by FAITH is really simple- BELIEVE that God can raise the dead.--We are just like Abraham...we can't produce- We are guilty and without hope. But God offers us mercy to save us by His grace.--Just like Abraham couldn't work for Isaac, you and I cannot work for our inheritance.--This sermon based on Romans 4-18-21 looks to bring out how saving faith stands strong believing that God WILL make good of His super-natural promises.---- -- -- -- ----Jimmy Fortunato is the Pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church located at 229 W.
