Living by Faith

For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes
is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith. (ROMANS 1:17)

UNTIL YOU SEE God face-to-face, you must live by simple faith in Him. Your righteousness both springs from faith and leads to more faith in the ever-living God. Your only source of continued spiritual life is the faith that draws all its sustenance from God. All self-efforts to save yourself and to overcome sin will utterly fail. Only the life and power of the Holy Spirit within you can save you from sin, and faith is the one condition of His working in you

Abraham so believed in God's promise that He offered up Isaac, trusting that God would raise Isaac from the dead. By faith Moses led millions of Jews out of Egypt. By faith Joshua took them into the Promised Land despit fortified cities and giants. By faith the early church stood strong under persecution and could not be stopped. By faith you must move beyond profession into the procession.
