Grace, is Seen as Glory Bloomed!

What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Romans 4:1-3

As Dr. M. L. Jones so vividly points out through his sermons from the book of Romans, God’s way of salvation has always been by faith in His provision of a sacrifice for the justification of our sins. Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, to the praise of His glorious grace.

This is our position still;

Not of works or bent of will

But faith that God to our account

Declared us righteous from the mount

Called Calvary where Jesus died

As He the Just One justified

The Father, by the sin He bore;

With wrath for us no more in store,

To grant forgiveness, clearing dept,

Providing grace through which we’re kept

Until the Day all is consumed

And grace is seen as glory bloomed!
