¹⁷ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith,^[a] as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:17 ESV)

Take a moment and consider what it means to you to live by faith.

I’ll wait.

God said, in our scripture, that the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith. This verse, often referred to as the cornerstone of Pauline theology, emphasizes that the gospel reveals God’s righteousness, a righteousness that is received and lived by faith. It’s a message that God’s righteousness is not something humans earn, but something they receive as a gift through faith in Jesus Christ.

My simple definition is that God’s righteousness is revealed in how we live out our faith life and our faith life should reveal God’s righteousness. The two go hand in hand, but only become relevant in Christ sacrifice on the cross.

Reflect on: What faith and righteousness are reflected in your life.
