946. Romans Chapter 4 - Believing in Jesus is what will make us righteous - January 19, 2026

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 19. I will then key in on verse 2 - Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way. Friends, Proverb 1:7 tells us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge - so, if we want to have knowledge we need to have an "awe", or reverence for God, and His word. On today's podcast we will be continuing our study of the book of Romans. Today we will be going over Chapter 4, verses 1-12 - entitled Abraham justified by faith. By the end of today's lesson there are three things I ask that you consider:
1. Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness (this verse is Romans 4:3; Galatians 3:6 and also James 2:23) - so it is vitally important that w understand the need to have faith.
2. Believing in Jesus is what will make us righteous.
3. Circumcision was the sign and seal of Abrahams's righteousness that belonged to him by faith.
Scriptures referenced on today's podcast:
Proverb 19:2; Romans 4:1-12
Call to Action - Ask yourself this question - Do you consider yourself righteous? Do you feel that your works are important? (It is important that we do good works - but not because it will gain us our salvation - only faith in the finished work of Jesus will make that happen.
