This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.

Amos 1:1 - 5:27

- Amos opens with judgment on the nations around Israel, then turns the word on Judah and Israel for injustice and empty worship.

- Seek the Lord and live. Without justice at the gate, the day of the Lord is darkness, not light.

Romans 4:1-25

- Abraham was counted righteous by faith, not by works, before he was circumcised.

- The promise rests on grace and is guaranteed to all who share the faith of Abraham, who believed God raises the dead.
