(Essay) When God gives us a dream..."




When God gives us a dream..."

When God gives us a dream, what is necessary is only our faith. Hold on to the idea with hope.

Let's read Genesis 15:5-6.  

God said to Abraham, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars if indeed you can count them. So shall your offspring be."

Abraham believed the Lord, and He credited it to him as righteousness. 

God regarded the faith of Abraham as his righteousness. What did Abraham believe? It was the promise of God about his offspring.

Abraham was old, with no child. Nevertheless, he believed and dreamed his offspring would be as many as the stars in the sky, which he doesn't dare to count.

God regarded his belief in God's promise as righteousness.
 
This scene reminds us of Romans 1:17. The verse provided a momentum of the protestant reformation of Martin Luther. 

"For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith." 

Have we got any dreams coming from God? If yes, hold on to it! That'll be our righteousness before God.
