The Blessings of Being a Christian - Romans chapter 4 vs 1 to 9 

 

Justification by faith alone in Jesus Christ, introduced in Romans chapter 3 brings with it blessing after blessing after blessings as we see in Romans chapter 4 verses 6 to 8. These riches eternal and blessings supernal are unfolded for us in the subsequent chapters in the book of Romans. We are enriched with the blessings of: peace with God (Romans 5); prayer and access to God (Romans 5); purpose in our trials and afflictions (Romans 5), the power to live the Christian life (Romans 6) and the indwelling presence of God's Holy Spirit.
