We Can't Boast of Righteousness because It's Given by God, and Faith Is Not a Work [Family Worship lesson in Romans 4:1–4]

Why can’t we boast of the righteousness that is truly ours in Christ? Romans 4:1–5 looks forward to the devotional in this week’s midweek meeting. In these five verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that because the righteousness that is truly ours in Christ comes as an accounting of grace, rather than the repaying of debt, we know that our faith is not a work, and we have no room at all for boasting.(click here to DOWNLOAD mp3/pdf files of this lesson)
