By faith the righteous shall live (Romans 1:17).
A man speaks, walks, and does everything when he is physically alive in this world. But his soul is found dead. The mark of a true believer's being alive in the spiritual life is his faith. Then God's deeds, actions and actions will be seen in him. All this is not of his making. It is an act of faith that God gives him as grace.
A spiritual life is a life lived entirely based on faith. When we act thinking that we can gain faith through our efforts, it will surely end in failure. What are people like who live by faith? They shall be strengthened by strength, and shall be found in the presence of God in Zion" (Psalm 84:7). A life of faith is a life of overcoming strength in Christ. The result of faith is a glorious one.
The daily strength of a child of God's life of faith is a life of receiving graces from God's perfect treasury. Therefore the Scripture says: Through his perfection we have all received grace upon grace. " (John 1:16). Faith is by grace. Only the righteous will live by this faith.
