"The Righteous Will Live By Faith"

I open the Bible and it's Romans. As I start reading, I realize Paul is writing to the church in Rome. He longs to visit them, and he speaks about faith.

Maybe I've been lacking in faith?

The Holy Spirit spoke to me:
"Do you have faith that you'll get the job?"
"Yes."
"Do you have faith that you'll marry him?"
"Yes."
"Do you have faith that you'll lose weight?"
"Yes."

If we believe, IT WILL HAPPEN.
If we're obedient, it will happen.

Paul says, "we received grace and apostleship to call people from among the gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith." -Romans 1:5

OBEDIENCE COMES FROM FAITH.
I can't repeat that enough. If we're DISobedient, we lack faith. If we lack faith, then it will NEVER happen.

Such a simple concept, yet such an overlooked idea.

Paul then writes, "First, I think my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world." -Romans 1:8

I want my faith to be reported all over the world.
Rome obviously had great faith.

"...that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith." -Romans 1:12

Faith brings encouragement to other people.

"For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."

Yeah Sarah.
"The righteous will live by faith."
