We’re still *on the book of Romans*.
Right now we’re on */chapter 4/,* so let’s get right into it.
*I.
**/ROM 4:17-21/*
*A.
*In (*/V 17/*) it says that “*/God calleth those things which be not as though they were/*.”
*1.
*This is *one of the main scriptures* that back up the *principal of confessing* the Word of God.
*a.
Confession* is *part of the Word* of God and we should *receive* the Word *as Truth* and *not* try to *fight against it*.
*i.
*I like this saying, “*/If the Word of God says it I believe it, and that settles it/*.”
*2.
*In (*/V 18/*) he said, “*/Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations/*.”
*b.
*Paul is saying that *in the natural* there was *no hope* and when all *natural hope was gone *he had to *come to a place* where *he put his hope in the Lord.
*
*i.
*Have you *ever wondered why God waited* so long to *give Abraham* the *child* of promise.
*ii.
*Abraham *had to get to a place of trusting the Lord* and not the natural.
*iii.
**/GEN 16:1-4/*
*1.
*We can see here that *Abraham was trusting* in the *natural* for a son.
*2.
*He kept *trusting* in the *natural until* there was *no hope left*.
*c.
*Look at */GEN 17:15-17/*
*i.
Finally* when *all hope in the natural* was *gone* *he trusted in the Lord.
*His hope was in the Lord.
*ii.
*Many times *we are the same way.*
We *wait until all hope is gone before* we’ll *trust* in the *Lord*.
*iii.
*It *doesn’t have to be that way*, we *should be trusting the Lord all the time*, for our daily needs.
*B.
*Back in (*/ROM 4:19/*) he tells us that *Abraham was not weak in faith*, then in (*/V 20/*) it says that *he was strong in faith.*
*1.
*It’s *strong faith* that is going to *get the job done*.
*a.
*(*/ROM 10:17/*) Tells us *how* to make our *faith grow*.
It says that *faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.*
*b.
*In the book of *Proverbs* it *shows* us *weather* we *have strong faith or not.*
*i.
*(*/PRO 3:5/*) says, “*/Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding/*.”
*ii.
If* you’re *at a place* that you are *truly trusting the Lord* to *meet* your *needs* or your desires, then *you are in faith*.
*iii.
*It’s *not trusting in self*, it’s *not trusting in our own ability*, *but* it’s *trusting in the Lord* with all of your heart.
*2.
*Paul goes on to say in (*/V 20/*) that “*/Abraham staggered not at the promise of God/*.”
*a.
If *you’re *standing in faith* you *can’t be staggering or wavering* at God’s Word.
*If* you are *wavering*, you're *not really in faith*.
*b.
**/HEB 10:23/*
*i.
*James says “*/Let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord/*.”
*3.
*In (*/V 21/*) it says that *Abraham was fully persuaded* that what *God* had promised he *would being it to pass*.
*a.
We need to be the same way*.
*b.
*You need to *be so persuaded* that *no matter what* it looks like *God will bring it to pass*.
*i.
Be convinced* that *if God said it*, *He will do it*.
*ii.
*I *emphases the word* “*/Convinced/*.”
*iii.
Know that if God said it*, *He will bring it to pass*.
That’s faith.
*II.
**/ROM 4:22/*
*A.
*In (*/V 22/*) he says, “*/It was imputed to him for righteousness/*.”
*1.
What was imputed *(or *counted*) to him *for righteousness*?
*2.
His faith.*
*B.
**/ROM 4:23-25/*
*/ /*
*1.
*In (*/Vs 24 and 25/*) it *gives* us the *basis for salvation.*
*2.
*He said this, “*/But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed/*.”
*a.
*That’s *talking about* our *righteousness*.
*b.
*Then *he goes on to say* *how we’ll receive righteousness*.
*i.
*“*/If we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offenses (sins), and was raised again for our justification/*.”
*a.
*It is *essential* that *we put our faith in* the Lord *Jesus* Christ *and believe* that He is *raised up from the dead*, to *deliver us from* our *offenses and sin*, and *to provided justification *for us.
*III.
**/ROM 5:1/*
*A.
*He says that *now we have peace with God because* we have put our *faith in* the Lord *Jesus *Christ.
*1.
**/ROM 5:10/*
*a.
Because He lives*, *we too shall live*.
*b.
**/EPH 2:16/*
*i.
We are no longer at enmity against God*.
*ii.
Literally* that *means*, “*/The hostility is gone/*.”
*c.
Sometimes people feel* that *God* is just *waiting to hit you over the head* *when you do something wrong*.
