The Brown Bible

Ken Brown | October 31, 2009

God’s Word is truth. In life, one must eventually choose what he holds to be the standard for what is and what is not truth when it comes to the things of God. I choose God’s Word, the Bible (as originally written). Everyone eventually makes a choice. Choose wisely.

The parables of the Gospels are interesting from a number of perspectives. Many people have lauded the brilliance of the parables in so clearly and convincingly communicating Jesus’ message in a way easily related to by the masses. I have no doubt that Jesus used parables at times to communicate clearly, though the only recorded time he was ever asked about his purpose for using parables, his response was quite different.

Miracles and healing are not dead today, nor are they reserved for the ultra-pious. God’s people can and do see them happen all the time. Would you like to see them happen in your life?

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as lord and believed God raised him from the dead, you are righteous and you have peace with God. This is a big deal. So many believers do not understand their relationship with their heavenly Father. They think they are likely on the “outs” with Him due to some whatever and need to do SOMETHING (though they are usually not sure exactly what) to make peace with God. There is nothing any of us can do to make peace with God. For one thing, we already are at peace with Him. For another, none of our works could ever be good enough anyway. It isn’t what we do to be at peace with God; it is what Jesus Christ did that brings peace.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not reckon sin? I should say so!! Now THAT would be quite the deal to get in on would it not? Who is it that gets to have this amazing grace? The record continues on to show through Abraham that “this blessedness” has come to the Gentiles (uncircumcision) as well as to “the circumcision.” It shows that they who walk in the steps of the faith of Abraham receive the righteousness of faith whether they are of the circumcision or uncircumcision…

“Righteousness” basically means “rightness.” The earliest English versions of the Bible used the word, “rightwiseness.” When Romans speaks of one’s righteousness, or rightness, it refers to one’s rightness before God. It is the condition of being before God as one ought to be. This is not a side note when it comes to right believing. What constitutes being right before God, and why, is as fundamental as it gets.
