What an amazing God we have in that this Gospel regarding His magnificent Son had already been promised centuries earlier through the prophets (cf. Isaiah ch. 53), this shows just how ordered and in control our God is!! Isn't He marvelous, who can compare to you Almighty and everlasting God!! It never ceases to amaze me that this Creator God would humble Himself to such an extent that He would take on the form of man (v. 3), in order to rescue fallen humanity ; even me!!
Christ's resurrection through the Spirit of holiness vindicated His claim that He was more than human, indeed He is declared with POWER to be the Son of God!! Jesus Christ our LORD ; I wonder, have we truly made Him LORD of our lives? Do the distractions of this world serve as tools to persuade us to take our eyes off HIM the glorious One? I speak to myself as much as anyone, let's walk before our God in full reliance upon Him as we walk in that resurrection power, so that He may be glorified. Please pray for me that I might do this.
In v.17 we observe the righteousness of God being provided for us on the basis of FAITH. Once again, wonder upon wonders, no need to work for our salvation (as opposed to some other religions), God has done it all for us through faith in Christ, and even this faith is a gift from God to us (cf. Eph. 2:8 ; Rom. 12:3). Thankyou Father God, thankyou Jesus Christ!!
