Romans 1:17a
"For therin is the righteousness of God
revealed from faith to faith"
"The just shall live by his faith." These wonderful words describe how righteousness comes to our hearts, and how we are to behave once it does. Faith is our proper response to the message of the gospel. When the Word of God is mixed with faith in those who hear it, hearts, souls and minds are changed. The message that Paul has given us is that God never asks men to behave to be saved. He ask us to believe.
Faith in Jesus Christ saves a sinful soul. Eternal life in Christ is the gift God has given through His Son, no matter who or what their situation in life might be. The power of the gospel displays how God puts people in union with Him. It is through faith from beginning to end.
Many people believe that righteousness is by works, but men can never obey God's Law and meet His righteous demands. Paul declared that the just are made alive, not by the things they do, but by the one in whom they believe. It is faith, not works that saves our souls and brings the righteousness of God to our hearts. AMEN!!
