In the Presence of God

Psalms 16:5-11 (NKJV)
5 O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.
10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
11 You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

En La Presencia de Dios

Salmo 16:5-11 (NVI)
5 Tú, Señor, eres mi porción y mi copa;
eres tú quien ha afirmado mi suerte.
6 Bellos lugares me han tocado en gracia;
¡preciosa herencia me ha correspondido!
7 Bendeciré al Señor, que me aconseja;
aun de noche me reprende mi conciencia.
8 Siempre tengo presente al Señor;
con él a mi derecha, nada me hará caer.
9 Por eso mi corazón se alegra,
y se regocijan mis entrañas;
todo mi ser se llena de confianza.
10 No dejarás que mi vida termine en el sepulcro;
no permitirás que sufra corrupción tu siervo fiel.
11 Me has dado a conocer la senda de la vida;
me llenarás de alegría en tu presencia,
y de dicha eterna a tu derecha.

Righteousness Through Faith

Romans 3:21-26 (NKJV)
21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

La Justicia Mediante La Fe

Romanos 3:21-26 (NVI)
21 Pero ahora, sin la mediación de la ley, se ha manifestado la justicia de Dios, de la que dan testimonio la ley y los profetas.
22 Esta justicia de Dios llega, mediante la fe en Jesucristo, a todos los que creen. De hecho, no hay distinción,
23 pues todos han pecado y están privados de la gloria de Dios,
24 pero por su gracia son justificados gratuitamente mediante la redención que Cristo Jesús efectuó.
25 Dios lo ofreció como un sacrificio de expiación que se recibe por la fe en su sangre, para demostrar así su justicia. Anteriormente, en su paciencia, Dios había pasado por alto los pecados;
26 pero en el tiempo presente ha ofrecido a Jesucristo para manifestar su justicia. De este modo, Dios es justo y, a la vez, el que justifica a los que tienen fe en Jesús.

Confidence in Prayer

1 John 5:14-15 (NKJV)
14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
