It’s a mouthful, but if you can’t string these words together and understand what they mean—grace-empowered-faith-based-obedience to God—then it will be impossible for you to understand the Book of Romans, and more importantly, how those words unpack, “The just shall live by faith.” It’s a life of famous faith; that’s what it will take, faith imparted and faith practiced. You can’t practice the faith necessary to save you; that brand comes gift-wrapped from heaven. And you can’t bury that gift in the sand and believe your life will be pleasing to God. Your faith must be practiced—demonstrated by obedience.
From faith to faith explains what those ancient words mean; “The just live by faith.” That is how the righteousness of God becomes evident to others. By God’s grace, through faith, you received a free invitation into His family. But, you must be aware that the gift also confers upon you a responsibility; you are justified by free faith to then live by faith—you must practice your faith. And you practice your faith by purposely accessing God’s grace. That is how your faith-filled-grace-empowered life reveals God’s righteousness to the world—from faith to faith. It’s the life of grace-empowered-faith-based-obedience to God.
