The Righteous Live by Faith

Effective FaithWalking by Faith

The righteous shall live by his faithHabakkuk 2:4 – the judgment of Judah by

unrighteous, proud Babylon…

Romans 1:17 – the gospel is the only hope since God’s wrath is revealed…Galatians 3:11 – nobody is justified by law, be glad that …Hebrews 10:38 – don’t shrink back to destruction

Faith must respond Matthew 7:21 – not everyone who says Lord…James 1:22 – be doers of the word not…Acts 16:33 - …rejoiced having believed.James 2:24 – justified by works not by…

BECAUSE

Faith is not a one-time act!

Abraham believed God and it was reckoned to him for righteousness – Gen. 15:6

1. Heb. 11:8 – obeyed to go to a place2. Rom. 4:3, 9 – before circumcision3. Rom. 4:18-23 – in Isaac’s birth4. James 2:21-24 – by sacrificing Isaac

Faith does what I would not!

Heb. 11:8-12Heb. 11:13-16

…And all the others!!!Heb. 11:30-40

Heb. 12:1-2

Faith is total trust / selfless submissionIs tested by the one thing God wants …that I am reluctant to give!

Hebrews 11:17-19– Sell all you have – Hate father & mother– Put to death your members on the earth– Forsake not the assembling– Forgive your offending brother 70 times 7

What about my faith?

Is it relying on past commitment and service?

Is it limited to things reasonable and acceptable?

Is it holding back, restrained and falling short of the Lord?

“…my righteous one shall live by faith:

And if he shrink back, my soul hath no

pleasure in him.

But we are not of them that shrink back

unto perdition; but of them that have

faith unto the saving of the soul.
