The just shall live by faith.

This is a very popular and common statement, but not many understand its true meaning.
Faith is not going to a car dealership and pointing to the biggest car and ‘claiming’ it, or pointing at Linda’s house in Banana Iceland and ‘owning’ it in faith, faith is not all that. Faith is also not blind belief, whether it makes sense or not, just believe it, just like many fake pastors preach today, are you a zombie? What did God give you brains for, abi you think He gave you a brain to decorate your cranium ni?
What is faith? Faith simply is living in the fear of the unseen God. You have not seen Him, yet you fear and reverence Him evidenced by the way you live your life and relate with other people.

A life of faith is a life of obedience to the Laws of God. And the Law is...

Matthew 22:36-40
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH

Ezekiel 18:5
But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
6 And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,
7 And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
8 He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.


Is there anything you are seeking from God? This is how you should ‘own’ and ‘claim’ your victory, salvation, progress, liberty, promotion, etc. by diligently seeking to please God.

To all the captives of the mighty out there, The Almighty God is with you, He sees you and knows all your pain, and all that you are going through, the wicked will never win, they will be blown away like chaff in the wind when the time comes.

Keep exercising faith by doing the right thing, God who is faithful will have mercy and intervene mightily and terribly on your behalf in only a very short time.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

The unjust shall live by sight.

Ezekiel 18:5
But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
6 And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,
7 And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the Unclad with a garment;
8 He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.

This is the summary of faith.

well, i have a little story for you...you talking about fearing the lord..
there was a certain man, he found favour with this lord you talk about, and for that reason the lord gave him the task of freeing ''his people '' from a certain Pharaoh of Egypt. this he did with the help of this lord or god. they journeyed for many years and came to a desert..then this god called his servant to come up to a mountain to collect the commandments which he has written on a stone tablets, for some reason he stayed 40 days, nobody knows what they where discussing for that long...well he collected the two tablets or 10 commandment as it is known and journey down to meet his people..he found them dancing round a statue of a golden calf...he got angry and destroyed what this god spent 40 days crafting..not only that he breaks two of the commandments...if that is not middle finger to this god i don't know what is?....the name of this servant is Moses...FYI

I think it is more an enterprise of intellectual commerce than anything else.You know my Eboe friends are very good at buying and selling so I try to sell those things for which they have shortages............. Many of them profit immensely from our interaction

Hehehe, sometimes what you are trying to sell to them is very expensive, so the haggling draws on for long and is accompanied with heavy concentrated humble didactic shellacking

Indeed they are formidable TRADERS so negotiation can be protracted and challenging but everyone gets a good deal in the end. Most Eboes love me so much. They are very fascinating people

Everyone gets a good deal in the end truly, ignorance, falsehood and sentiments are discarded in favour of the more worthy goods of facts and sacred truths.

it is that 'menstrual woman' part that I need clarity on. Can you please educate me on that?

Ezekiel by inspiration lists the things that YAH hates, one of the things the book lists is coming near a menstrous woman (having sex with a menstrous) woman, YAH considers her seperated until her flow ends.

But I wouldn't want you to see the law in absolutes, all the law boils down to love, you cannot use this as an excuse not to help a woman who may need your help whilst her visitor is around.

Op, thanks for sharing this truth. If there's no faith, then Christ died for nothing! Kindly continue.... Righteousness still exalts a nation

Always promoting LAW, obedience to the law and now, just shall live by faith. Promitting law and faith, both don't mix...the law is not of faith and faith doesn't require law to be effective...

Whether you like it or not you will still obey that LAW, you cannot escape it, for everyone who makes the kingdom of God the LAW will be inherent in them. The LAW is coming back no matter what is said against it.

He will put His laws in our hearts!

Hebrews 10:16
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
