My Reflections

God is righteous because he is faithful.

Prompt:
Romans 1:17
What does the Apostle Paul mean by writing “the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith”?

I had to do a little research on this one myself. Having just written a Bible study on faith/faithfulness, made this a little easier to understand. You see in Galatians 5 where the fruits of the Spirit are listed, the Greek word is pistis. Interestingly enough, old King James Version translated it faith. New King James Version translated it faithfulness. The Greek word refers to a man who is trustworthy. It can be translated both ways.

Assuming it is the same Greak word used here, it would make so much more sense to me. Let me reword the phrase keeping this translation in mind. “The righteousness of God is revealed from God's faithfulness to our faith.”

I love it! It is all about our faith in God's faithfulness and God's faithfulness to our faith. God's faithfulness reveals his righteousness.

Graywriter (66) writes about having extremely intelligent conversations...with himself. We all do it! What do you think of talking to yourself?

I say you are ok as long as inanimate objects don't talk to you. I talk to myself all the time. I use the excuse that I was an only child. Lol

Do you agree? Or do you think visualizing the future could make a person even more anxious?

That depends on how you visualize yourself in the future.

Prompt: I do not at all understand the mystery of grace - only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us. Anne Lamot
Write about grace.

Grace is receiving what we don't deserve. For example, I don't deserve Salvation through the blood of Christ. However, because I believe in him, I receive Salvation through the Grace of God because I have faith.
