From Faith to Faith

Romans 1-4 

“For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, [from faith to faith] just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.’”

Romans 1:17

The righteousness we receive through faith in Christ for our salvation is the same righteousness we then live in. We were called in righteousness, to be righteous by faith in Christ every day. We live by faith from our first day in God’s family, through eternity. We grow from faith to faith as we daily surrender our will, disappointments, fears, and sins to the Lord. In the tests of faith, like Abraham, we, too, can trust the promises of God and be strengthened in our faith. We, too, can give glory to God by living fully persuaded that God has the power to do what he has promised. It is the tests of faith which remind us that we have room to grow.

How are we responding in these tests of faith?

Can we look back and justify that we, too, are going and growing from faith to faith?

“Lord Jesus, strengthen my faith as I surrender to you in this test, for your glory.”
