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.
