135-The Boast of the Gospel

Every human wants acceptance, love, and appreciation. In this world, we’re convinced we’ll have to work for it. The Apostle Paul would call that life pursuit-our “boast.” If we achieve what we’re working for, we become proud, if we fail, we hate ourselves. Both are dangerous. But what if there was a way to feel valid, without being arrogant? Can we be humble in success, but also content even after failure? The gospel offers a solution. The solution was for Abraham, and David and the apostle Paul teaches this through the study of the book of Romans 4:1-8.
