Freely Receive Justification by Faith
Freely Receive Justification by Faith
By Pauly Rodriguez
"Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it a thousand times." - Martin Luther
Martin Luther’s insight into faith and grace emphasizes that God’s gifts—especially salvation—are freely given to us, not because of our own works, but because of God’s grace. In a world that often encourages self-reliance and earning approval, Luther reminds us that our justification before God comes through faith alone. We don’t have to earn God's favor or strive to prove ourselves; we are made righteous by placing our trust in His finished work on the cross.
To "freely receive" is to place our confidence in God's grace, believing that His love and mercy are sufficient for us. When we truly understand that salvation is a gift we cannot earn, it frees us to live in the joy and peace of God’s unmerited favor. Today, reflect on the fact that you are justified before God through faith—not through your actions or achievements. Receive His grace with confidence, knowing it is more than enough for you.
Pray now: Father, thank You for the free gift of grace through faith. Help me to trust in Your sufficiency and not rely on my own efforts. May my heart rest in the confidence of Your love and salvation, and may I live each day in the freedom You’ve given me.
Pray for Breakthrough in the Nations!
Each day during this fast we are asking you to join us in asking for the remaining nations where the College of Prayer is not yet serving churches.
Pray today for Solomon Islands.
“Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands...This is honor for all his godly ones.” Psalm 149:6-9
