Life-giving

“This gospel unveils a continual revelation of God’s righteousness—a perfect righteousness given to us when we believe. And it moves us from receiving life through faith, to the power of living by faith. This is what the Scripture means when it says: “We are right with God through life-giving faith!”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Continual catches me. It was not just a once off righteousness given to me, it is a continual, ever flowing stream. Thank You Jesus! It was a perfect righteousness! Yes! No flaws as in my own righteousness.
 Next it moves us from just receiving life through faith, to the power of living by faith. In other words, this righteousness Jesus gave us is full of power, just as His word is full of power. Hebrews 4:12 tells us: 
“For we have the living Word of God, which is full of energy, like a two-mouthed sword. It will even penetrate to the very core of our being where soul and spirit, bone and marrow meet! It interprets and reveals the true thoughts and secret motives of our hearts.”
We are right with God not through an old agreement, a long lost will. No, we are right with God through life-giving faith. The faith God gives us is alive and full of power. Amen!
