But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2.4 …for in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1.17
But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.Galatians 3.11 ...Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.Hebrews 10.38
These holy verses indicate clearly and categorically that the righteousness of God is based on faith. That is, there’s no forgiveness, no salvation, no fulfillment of the Divine Promises, in other words, there is nothing without the action of sacrificial faith.
According to the Law of God, everyone has sinned, sins and will sin. Except for the innocent children, who are not yet able to discern between good and evil. Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned. Romans 5:12
Therefore, it is impossible to receive anything from God without manifesting a practical faith. It’s different form the law of men, which requires compelling evidence to acquit the guilty. That is, everyone is innocent until proven otherwise. If a person is charged with murder, there must be evidence that he killed someone; if a person is charged with robbery, there must be evidence that he stole; if a person breaks the law, there must be evidence that he broke the law.
In the Kingdom of God, everyone is guilty and will be condemned, regardless of whether or not he committed any transgressions. Adam’s nature does not allow anyone to be saved or considered innocent before the Righteousness of God. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3.23
How to cancel out a person’s sin before the Righteousness of God? Who could act as a lawyer for the sinner? What arguments could he use to prove his innocence?
Before God, the Righteous Judge, there’s no lawyer or evidence capable of exonerating a sinner. All have sinned. One way or another, all have sinned – whether consciously or not, whether it was a thought, an attitude, words, gestures or feelings. All have sinned and fall short of God’s Mercy.
And this is exactly where faith in the Lord Jesus Christ comes in! Not a theoretical faith that says, “I believe in God” or “I believe in the Holy Trinity”. No! A thousand times no! This kind of belief does not work. If it worked, the Christian world would be a bed of roses. The Son of God had to become like a man, live like a man, be subject to the limits of a man, sacrifice His flesh during His whole life and still die like a detestable sinner, without having committed any mistakes, however small.
The virus of sin in His mother did not contaminate Him, because the DNA of the Most High was stronger. He provided salvation for all who believe in a sacrificial manner. His belief and love made Him sacrifice. Likewise, we are forced to manifest sacrificial faith and love for Him in order to be saved. Otherwise, there is no salvation.
The message that accepting Jesus as Savior is enough to save a person is nonsensical. It widens the door that leads to hell. This is the reason most believers are demon-possessed.
