Gifts and Promises by Susan Barnes
"However, to the man who does not work but trusts God ... his faith is credited as righteousness." Romans 4:5
Paul begins this chapter of Romans by talking about the difference between wages and gifts. If we work for someone we wouldn't consider the money we receive a gift, but rather their obligation. It is a wage. In using this illustration Paul makes it clear that we do not work for our salvation, since salvation is a gift (Ephesians 2:8). Not something we are owed because of our efforts but something we receive when we trust God.
Later in the chapter (4:13-15 MSG), Paul talks about the difference between a contract (or law) and a promise. In a contract the two people involved each supply something. When you buy a house one person agrees to hand over a certain sum of money and the other person agrees to hand over the house. Both parties contribute something of equal value. But in a promise one person agrees to something without reimbursement. In Romans 4 it is God who makes the promise agreeing to grant us salvation without us making a contribution. "Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring" (v.16).
Since it is by grace and not by our efforts, God can guarantee we will receive salvation if we accept it by faith. We never have to worry about whether we have "done enough" since salvation is received and not earned.
God is looking for those who will be grateful recipients of his grace.
