Faith is the Basis for the Revealing of God's Righteousness in a Christian's Life


"For in it (in the gospel) the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, 'But the righteous man shall live by faith.'" (Romans 1:17).

"But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ ... whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness ... that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." (Romans 3:21-26).

"For this reason it is by faith, that it might be in accordance with grace, in order that the promise may be certain to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all." (Romans 4:16)

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."(Romans 5:1).

"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." (Romans 10:17).

"The life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God." (Galatians 2:20).
