Romans 4:5
“And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly his faith is counted as righteous.”

I stand amazed when I read a scripture like this because I know that it is God himself who gave my faith to me so I could believe. He opened my eyes to see, my ears to hear. He gave me all I needed to believe in the one who justifies the ungodly! God demands righteousness of us and then gives it to us through Jesus Christ. This gospel truth drives me to praise and thanksgiving!
