OHS Students Thursday bible study, Justification by Faith

Olivet high school students with 4 teachers joined to Thursday bible study on 13th August 2020. Opening prayer did brother Matthew and closing prayer by brother Kelly and message shared by brother Matthews from the book of Romans chapter 4:5. Today's student's attendance was 20.

Brother Matthews shared that But to him who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness. The word of truth is that even though we became sinners by failing to walk by the law, if we obtain the righteousness of God by believing that Jesus took upon the sins of the world through the baptism given by John the Baptist, and in his death on the cross as our remission of sin, then God will approve our faith as the right faith, to know this and to believe this is to have the faith in the righteousness of God.

The Lord spoke about the blessedness of those to whom God imputes righteousness even as they have not worked for God. David said that those who are blessed by God are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

How, then, can we obtain the righteousness of God and receive the remission of our sins? To be remitted from our sins, what kind of faith must we have before God? Since no one can keep the law, it is only by believing in the gospel of the water and the spirit, the gospel given by God, that we can obtain the righteousness of God and receive the remission of our sins.
