Christ’s Sacrifice, Received By Faith
January 20th, 2015
Romans 2:21-31
What does “received by faith” mean? A little girl desperately wanted a pony but her parents refused. Undeterred, she spent every day after school in her backyard building a corral for the yearned-for pony. What confidence and assurance! She had faith for what she hoped; evidence for what she did not see.
Faith is absolutely essential to please God. In healthcare, we’re passionate about best demonstrated practices, spending resources, time and energies to improve processes that will better serve patients, their families, and staff. We strive for continuous improvement in patient, employee and physician satisfaction.
When behavior and belief are synchronized, when walk and talk are harmonized, rewards, like confident assurance, follow. “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Hebrews 11:6). Confidently develop faith; earnestly seek God!

Read today’s devotional book and read the verse: God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood –to be received by faith (Romans 3:25a, not Romans 2:25a that was written in the devotional book). Thanks and God Bless

Thank you for pointing that out. Both good verses. The devotional makes much more sense with Romans 2:25.
