The Justified-By-Faith Ones - SHALL LIVE

How often we stand perplexed that God does not punish the wicked but seems to allow them to be acquitted of their wrongdoing and even rewarded for their evil works.
Those who are not credited with righteousness because of their lack of trust in the Almighty, are living in spiritual darkness because their soul is not right within themselves, for they are not trusting God's Word. Those who are proud and self-important, foster pride in their heart. They rely on their own inner strength, power, talent, and wisdom. These are ungodly fools who deny their Creator. They are not credited with righteousness because they have not believed the truth. HOWEVER, the righteous ones will live by their faith, which may be better translated 'the justified-by-faith ones - SHALL LIVE'. The one who is justified in the eyes of God, will live.
Praise God that WE, who have believed in Christ Jesus, are justified by faith in Christ. How thankful that we are not justified by our own good works or legalistic practices carried out in our own strength, since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.
“Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God.

Our United Prayer:
Thank You, Father, for the wonderful truth that the justified man and woman will live, because of their faith. Thank You for those who have continued to teach this truth down through the centuries. How we thank You, heavenly Father, that because we are justified by faith, we will live eternally with the Lord Jesus Christ. We pray that having been justified as Your free and forever gift of grace, we may live every day of our lives by faith, by trusting in You and not relying on our own strength or abilities. May our life be honoring to You and a testimony of Your goodness and grace to those with whom we come in contact. This we ask in Jesus' precious name, AMEN.
