WHO IS A JUST PERSON?

Rom 1:17

“…The just shall live by faith.”

Living by faith is at the core of the believer’s life. When you do not live by faith you become unsettled at the very core of your being and when that happens, frustration and an unsettled mind is what results. Our scripture for meditation is very clear and direct, it has no ambiguity, “the just shall live by faith” and it is so important that the Holy Spirit had penned down four times altogether (Habakkuk 2:4; Galatians 3:11 and Hebrews 10:38). Who is a just person? 

Those who have made peace with God in turning away from sin and surrendering to the Saviour (Romans 8:30). Now having being saved, your life has to be lived by faith, a total leaning of your personality towards God in confidence and trust (according to Amplified Bible rendering of faith). 

This is like saying a fish has to live in water. When you take a fish out of water, it will die. The just not living by faith is to die spiritually speaking, and literally to live a frustrated, struggling life. I can hear someone say but the fish was made to live in water but I am not. Yes you are. 

Your spirit, your recreated human spirit was recreated after God in righteousness and holiness, so you have the ability to live like that because that is the way God lives. I know you have to learn it because you have not being living this way before but it is all there in your spirit.


CONFESSION: I AM THE JUST AND I KNOW HOW TO LIVE BY FAITH.
