The gospel is about Jesus Christ, it offers us freedom from and salvation from sin, sin's dominion, and the wrath of God on sin (Rom 1:16-17; 5:6-8, 9-11).

Rom 5:12-21 is part of the revealing of God's righteousness being available to those who will believe the gospel message that brings it to mankind.

Faith brings an inheritance to the faithful that law-keeping can never afford (Rom 4:13-15).

From enemies to reconciliation to saved from God's wrath. This is the present possession of those justified by the blood, the saints in Christ Jesus (Rom 5:9-11).

Abraham's faith was an avenue for God to bless the whole world. David's faith was an avenue for God to defeat the enemies of His people and protect David from his own sin.

Those called by the gospel have somethings in common with two of God's ancient examples of being called and chosen by God, Abraham and David (Rom 4:1-25).

Sure and certain of what is yet unseen, we trust the Eternal One to reward those who seek Him. Just as Abraham did and as David did (Matt 8:13; 9:29; 15:28; Rom 4; Heb 11:1, 4).

Purposely choosing to remind our soul the greatest gift God has given us is the removal of our sins and the subsequent peace that gives us with Him (Ps 103).

Righteousness gives us the best relationship we can have with God.

Let the redeemed of the LORD say this . . .

Let them give thanks to the LORD for His unfailing

love and wonderful deeds for men - Ps 107.
