The Righteous Will Live by Faith

We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus by faith, and not by our own doing. As we relate to, become one with the realization that Jesus died for our sins and gave His precious blood to wash us from all unrighteousness, we can begin a righteous walk in life. If we confess with our mouths the Lord Jesus Christ, and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead for our justification, we become born again Christians (Romans 10:9-10). The are the righteousness of God because of our attachment to Jesus’ work at Calvary. It is by grace we have been saved through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and it is by faith that we are righteous. Our lifestyle after becoming Christians should be by faith. That basically means we are acknowledging the Lord in all our ways so He can direct our path in life (Proverbs 3:6). We should live by faith, for in doing so we unlock all of God’s goodies from heaven. It is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6).
