Galatians 3:11-12
Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them."
LiteFire..........the Gospel reveals the righteousness of faith..........and the righteousness which God alone imputed to faith. Christ wo is the righteousness of God is put to the account of faith.
(Read carefully Romans4:3; 5,6, 9, 11-13 as well as Rom. 10:6-10.
The recipient of God' wonderful grace stands before God s if he had nver committed any evil. God's grace provides for the sinner and brings to the sinner God's holiness because it was the blood of God that lowed through the veins of Jesus.
God purchased the salvation of sinners with His own blood.
We are saved by faith, we are kept by faith, we are rewarded by faith and every blessing from God must be accepted by faith.
The meaning of ther statement........."from faith to faith" is not from one degree of faith to another, but that God blesses the believer on the principle of faith. God offers justification to the unbeliever on the ground of faith, not on the basis of works. We are justified by faith and the JUSTIFIED shall an must live on the principle of faith.....or better said------
faith in the finished work of the Lord Jesus.
