Haiku responding to Romans 4:1-5, 13 - 17
Good works don't make us
righteous, so Abraham was
justified by faith.
When you work, you're paid;
wages are not a gift, they're due
to he who earned them.
Works won't get us there,
we have to put trust in God:
God makes us righteous.
Righteousness is gift,
from the God who justifies,
it's received by faith.
If Law's adherents
are God's heirs, faith is nothing,
God's promise is void.
The Law is not what
makes us righteous, without law
sin doesn't exist.
God's promise of life
comes through grace to all who share
in Abraham's faith.
With Abraham”s God
the dead have life, and nothings
are made to exist.
