Ro 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Ro 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. Ro 5:18 Therefore * * as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Ro 1:17 For therein * * is the righteousness (will) of God revealed (manifested) from faith (the Jewish walk) to faith (The Christian walk) : as it is written *, The just (those that walk in His will or doers of his will) shall live (shall continue to exist) by faith (walk in his will). The blood of Jesus or the death of Jesus on the cross purchased for us or for all mankind justification or the 1st phase of righteousness, He wipes the slate clean. But notice the “righteousness of God revealed”, another words the will of God is manifested thru those who have walked with him. When it says from faith to faith, he is referring to 2 different groups that walked with God, namely the Jew’s 1st and the Christians 2nd. Remember we have been grafted in. The Just or the spiritually clean will only live if they know His will and walk in His will, for the word faith here is a reference to a walk, not a mental ascension program. The faith has tools for knowing His will which are also called gifts of the Holy Spirit which are oftentimes resident in certain types of Church ministries. The just (righteous) life line comes as it continues being just by walking with God, and this walk is called “faith”. Faith isn’t blind or a mental ascent here. The lexicons are too vague and misleading on these terms, and there needs to be a rewriting of these foundational texts. |
