Romans.

"Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be a apostle and to set apart for the gospel-the gospel promised beforehand through his prophets, in the Holy Scriptures, regarding his Son......and by his resurrection fro the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. Through him and for his namesake we received grace and apostleship to call people among all Gentile to the obedience that comes from faith. " Thus, we too are also among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, of the Jews and of Gentiles. ( for in the gospel, a righteousness from God is revealed), a righteousness that is by faith.:"The righteous will live by faith."
God's righteous Judgement. Now, we know that God's judgment against those who do such evil things is based on truth. So when you, a mere man, pass judgement on them and yet do the same things do you think you will escape God's judgement? Or do you show contemp for the richness of kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you towards repentance?
Of Jew's and Law. a man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outwardly and physical. No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God.
4+ Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from work; "blessed are they who transgressions are forgiven, whose sin are covered. Blessed is the man who sin the Lord will never count against him".
EPHESIANS @ 2:13-18. Here the author declared former enemies were now friends; for in Christ, the prejudice that separated Gentile from Jews no longer held sway. Indeed, the Church is the place to overcome prejudice. All are invited to the assembly of the saved. To answer this prejudice, the author made an astounding claim. The death of Christ abolished the Law, with its ordinances and the decrees made by scribes. In other words, Jesus' death away the legitimacy of "kosher." God no longer desired a unique nationality. He wanted those who followed Christ. For in Christ, the prejudice caused by the wall of religious and national purity was wiped away. The former enemies were now one in the Lord. For they shared the same Spirit.
Romans:3:21-30. For those who believes in Jesus Christ God's justice that was made know to the Law and the Prophets is prevailed and is the same justice that comes through faith. The faith the God who created us of love and punishes us through justice is the God that through His mercy redeemed us with the sacrificial death of our Lord Jesus Christ. In this way God makes his justice known : first, for the past, when sins went unpunished because he held his hand, then for the present age, by showing positively that he is just, and that he punishes those who does wrong that believes in Christ. Paul says this God is for everyone. Thus with the Lord there is mercy, and fullness of redemption; for with love He created and in justice He condemned us but with mercy He redeemed us through Jesus Christ. Amen.
Again in Romans 4:1-8 Paul says,"Abraham put his faith in the God, and this faith was considered as justifying him. If a man has work to show, his wages are not considered as a favour but as his due; but when a man has nothing to show except faith in the one who justifies sinners, then his faith is considered as justifying him. And David says the same: a man is happy if God considers him righteous, irrespective of good deeds. Thus: Happy those whose crimes are forgiven, whose sins are blotted out; Happy the man whom the Lord considers sinless.
FAITH is the cornerstone of our inheritance. The promise of inheritance was not made to Abraham and his descendants on account of any law but on account of the righteousness which consists in FAITH. That is why what fulfils the the promise depends on FAITH, so that it may be a free gift and be available to all of Abraham's descendants, not only those belongs to the Law but also those who belongs to the FAITH of Abraham who it the father of all of us( I have made you the ancestor of many nations). Abraham is our father in the eyes of God, in whom he puts His faith, and who brings the dead to life and call into BEING who does not exist. Though it seemed Abraham's hope could not be fulfilled, he hoped and he believed, and through doing so he did become the father of many nations exactly as he had been promised.
In Romans 4:20-25,we read that since God has made him a promise. Abraham therefore refused to either deny it or even to doubt it, but drew strength from FAITH and gave glory to God, convinced that God has power to do what he had promised. This is the FAITH that was "considered as justifying him" but it did not stopped there but it referred to us as well; our FAITH too will be "considered" if we believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead because by his resurrection he justify us
In Ephesian:2.8-9. "It is by His grace you have been saved, through Faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by your works, so that no one can boast.
- the greatest gift we have received has nothing to do with our efforts. It is a gift from God.
We did not earn it, purchase it or work for it.
St.Paul's 2nd letters to the Corinthins.
10th Week - Oridinary Time Yr.C
*God comforts us so that we can offer others consolations in their sorrows(1:1-7)
  sharing our sufferings, you will also share our consolations..
*Jesus was never Yes and NO: with Him it was always Yes.(That's is why it is always "Through Him and we answer Amen.)
*God is the one who has given us the qualifications to be administrators of the New Covenant, which is not a covenant of written letters but of the Spirit(3:4-11).
*God has shone in our minds to radiate the light of knowledge of God's glory.(3:15).
Whenever Moses is read, the veil is over te minds of the Israelites.  It will not be removed until they turn to the Lord who is the Spirit and where the Spirit is the Lord is.
*He who raised Jesus to life will raise us with Jesus in our turn and sit us by his side and you with us.
We are in difficulties on all sides but never conered.
We see no answer to our problems, but never despair.
We have been persecuted, but never deserted.
Knocked down but never killed.
*For our sake God made the sinless one to sin. We are mbassodors for Christ, it is as through God were appealing to through us.
