Believing Unto Righteousness

Thought for Today

Believing Unto Righteousness

“We admit no faith to be justifying, which is not itself and in its own nature a spiritually vital principle of obedience and good works”
– John Owen

“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness”
Romans 10:10

If the heart truly believes in Christ it will always be UNTO righteousness. A life unchanged is a life untouched by the power of Christ. Any belief which does not bring a heart unto righteousness is religious, cold and dead.

“For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive”
1 Corinthians 15:22

It is not what a person believes but in whom they believe.

Brian Troxel

Quote for Today

“It is to be feared that very many have little knowledge of the main enemy that they carry about them in their bosoms. This makes them ready to justify themselves, and to be impatient of reproof or admonition, not knowing that they are in any danger” (2 Chronicles 16:10)

“Let no man pretend to fear sin that does not fear temptation also! These two are too closely united to be separated. He does not truly hate the fruit who delights in the root.”
