FOUNDATION OF CHRISTIANITY
Romans 1:11-17
Devotional: “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith”” (V. 17)
It is important we know that Christianity is not a religion. A religion is human approach to worshipping God. Religion is a belief or a worship of a deity or a controlling power. Much more than this, Christianity is a lifestyle. It is a lifestyle of faith. It is a relationship with God. Jesus came to connect us to the father (John 20:17).
The word of God told us that, God is a Spirit (John 4:24). He made all things including man (Genesis 1:1-3; John 1:1-5). He made man also as a spirit to live in the flesh, that is why we are physical and visible (Genesis 1:26-28). If man will therefore relate with God who is a Spirit and invisible, it has to be by faith (Hebrews 11:6).
Friend, it is important you know that anything we are doing in this world can only be done by faith. The scripture we read today said the just shall live by faith. The just are those who are justified by faith in the work of the cross (Romans 5:1-2). These are the people we call Christian. So, you must learn the way of faith, for without faith you cannot relate with God (Hebrews 11:6). Anyone that is not living by faith is not a Christian. That is why you and I must learn and cultivate the life of faith and your life will start to reflect the glory of God. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, teach me to live by faith
