Romans 1:17

For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith (disclosed in a way that awakens more faith). As it is written and forever remains written, “The just and upright shall live by faith”.

Our success as Christians depends on our faith. Whether we fully believe in and follow the commandments of the Bible will determine our success. Faith builds us up on the inside to defeat the opposing forces on the outside. If we want to be considered just, we must live by faith.
