THE JUST(holy) SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. Romans 1:16-17
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto
salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith:
as it is written. The just shall live by faith.
Faith comes by Hearing & Hearing by the Word of God.
Romans 10:17saih 33: 5-6
Three things to remember about Faith.
1. You can't have Faith without a word from God.

The fear(reverance) of the Lord is the begining of Knowledge.
