A Jewish Rabbi wrote,/Moses gave Israel 613 commandments,David reduced them to eleven[ Psalm 15],Micah to three [Mic 6v8], Isaiah to two
[ Isa 56v1],but Habakkuk to one, /The righteous shall live by faith/ [2 v4].
I wonder what you think of this,but the fact is without faith we cannot have a relationship with God.It was by faith that Abraham was accepted by God
cp Genesis 15v6,like Abraham, it is simply by faith. It is apostle Paul who sets out the bases of being accepted by God it is faith in Christ[Rom5 v1 ].In Romans 3 23,we are told that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.I passed a church recently with a poster, with the following words on it ,/When you trust Jesus He erasers all your past mistakes/,but of course the Bible says,not so much mistakes,but sin.The word mistakes, is mistakenly used, it is in Gods word, and we must hold fast to this term.The righteous/just, are those who being justified by faith.Without faith we will stumble and fall,we are no different than those we read of in Hebrews 11.Whatever successes they had ,it was by faith,what ever difficulties they faced with,they faced them by faith,Whatever we may have to face,we face them by faith.Read Hebrews 11,of the list of those who choose to live by faith,do you want to join them?
A prayer.
Dear God we come to you through in Christ Your son,and by Your Grace live by faith,help us in Jesus Name Amen .
