GOSPEL NUGGET #528

From Faith To Faith

Ro 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

Ro 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

The gospel of Christ refers to the good news that He died for our sins and rose from the dead. It is the message a sinner must trust in order to be saved and imputed the righteousness of God.

A sinner only has to put his faith in it? Yes
No, amount of works whatsoever? Yes, it is from faith to faith or by faith from first to last. Not faith at the first stage and then works in the second stage. No, it's by faith alone all the way through.
