Romans 1:17
Romans 1:17
The righteous will live by faith.
Romans 1:17 tells us that the righteous will live by faith. This principle is central to the Christian life, where faith is not only the starting point of salvation but the ongoing way of life. The righteous are those who have been justified by faith in Jesus Christ, and their lives are marked by trust in God’s promises. Living by faith means trusting God in every aspect of life, from daily decisions to long-term goals. Faith is the lens through which we view the world and the foundation on which we build our actions. As we live by faith, we demonstrate that we rely not on our own strength or understanding, but on God’s leading. This verse challenges believers to live boldly in their faith, confident that God will guide and sustain them through all circumstances. A life of faith honors God and reflects His righteousness, revealing to the world the power of His transformative grace.
Matthew 22:37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
John 15:2
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
1 Peter 2:3
If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
James 2:26
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
