Subject: Who are the just? What is Faith? |
Bible Note: Hi BradK, Ro 3:26 is talking about God. Are you saying that the statement "the just shall live by faith" is talking of God? Don't you understand it to mean mankind? Ro 5:1 Says we are justified (freed) by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. God is grace, Jesus is Faith which produces peace. Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Now Jesus is the substance of things hope for, and Jesus is the evidence of things not seen. We are to Look unto Jesus the author (margin says; beginner) and finisher (completer) of our faith; Heb 12:2 To believe is to obey according to James 1:22 The real definition of faith is Heb 11:6 But without faith (Jesus) it is impossible to please (God): for he that comes to God MUST believe (1) that he is (or God exists), and (2)that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Prov 13:13 Whoso despises the word shall be destroyed: but he that fears the commanment shall be rewarded. God's word is tied to rewards. Our diligence in taking God at his word, which is his faith, his word, that becomes our faith, will be rewarded richly. Always in Christ, C.S.M. |
