Sound-bytitis (a serious disease), and
Rightly dividing the word of truth
The grand biblical declaration,
"the just shall live by faith" stands as a mighty indictment against
the popular heresy of "justification by faith alone."
"The just shall live by
faith" declares that it is the JUST - that is, the justified ones by the
free grace of God - that shall live by faith.
The sola fidei heresy declares the
EXACT opposite: the unjustified (i.e. still in the native state of sin and
condemnation) must believe in order to be justified by God.
"For therein is the righteousness
of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by
faith." Rom 1:17
"But that no man is justified by
the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by
faith." Gal 3:11
"Now the just shall live by faith:
but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him." Heb 10:38
"Behold, his soul which is lifted
up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith." Hab 2:4
The simple truth of the Bible "the
just shall live by faith..."
has been twisted and perverted into a
lie of the devil,
"by faith, the condemned (unjustified) shall be justified."
Whatever has happened to plain common
sense needed to rightly divide the word of truth?
