I\u2019ve seen answers that range from another religion (for example \u201cone of many faiths\u201d) down through some sort of fairy-tale opinion that stands opposed to science.<\/p>\n<p>In the Bible, we\u2019ll see all sorts of usage on \u201cfaith\u201d and \u201cbelief\u201d\u2014sometimes even referring to when someone adheres to the doctrines that make up Christianity. One of the best usages of faith is the one that is tied to the concept of justification.<\/p>\n<p>Faith is just an archaic word for trust. What I love about seeing faith, or trust, tied to justification in texts like Romans 4 (see more of the <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2007\/study\/roman-series\/\">Romans study<\/a>), that it explains the nature of the concept even while using, basically, <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2004\/salvation\/xi-case-law-romans-4\/\">case-law<\/a>. No more fuzzy lessons grounded in someone\u2019s personal trust issues, but rather taking the structure of Hebrews 11:1 where it says \u201cfaith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen\u201d and garnishing it with doctrinal meat.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>One: Faith Isn\u2019t A Work<\/h2>\n<p>In Romans 3:27-4:8, Paul argues that faith isn\u2019t a work and therefore excludes bragging. When you work, he says, you expect to be paid but you shouldn\u2019t expect anything for simply trusting; anything given is sheer grace.<\/p>\n<p>Faith is more like a trust that results in giving up which God turns around and credits with his own foreign righteousness (2 Cor. 5:21). Here Paul uses an example of Abraham who did a whole mess of work like moving from his home country\u00a0 (Gen 12) or letting his nephew get his pick of the land (Gen 13).<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Abraham\u2019s works were never credited with righteousness. That occurred only when God decided to take Abram\u2019s weak trust, in spite of the physical evidence before him, and credit it with God\u2019s own righteous standard. As <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1RPrmTS\">Moo (best commentary on Romans)<\/a> quotes <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newadvent.org\/fathers\/210208.htm\">Chrysostom as sayin<\/a>g:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For a person who had no works, to be justified by faith was nothing unlikely. But for a person richly adorned with good deeds, not to be made just from these, but from faith, this is the thing to cause wonder, and to set the power of faith in a strong light.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Two: Faith Has Historical Priority<\/h2>\n<p>In Paul\u2019s day there were serious issues with folk who were trying to add stipulations to salvation by grace alone. Christians had to be circumcised, or drill down and follow the Law, if they really wanted to be part of the people of God. Back in his letter to the Galatians 3, Paul dealt head on with those problems. Here in the letter to the Romans 4:9-15, he didn\u2019t have those same issues but he did want to highlight the key point that faith has historical priority: it came long before both the Law and circumcision.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, nowadays we don\u2019t have a problem with getting circumcised to add to our salvation. What we do is see faith as not enough while adding all sorts of stipulations for spirituality. Maybe it\u2019s using the right version of the Bible. Or being a <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2014\/apologetics\/nye-versus-ham-creation-evolution-and-the-true-debate\/\">young earth creationist<\/a>. Or an <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2014\/apologetics\/nye-versus-ham-creation-evolution-and-the-true-debate\/\">old earth creationis<\/a>t. Or managing to go to church every Sunday. Or wearing a suit. \u00a0The list goes on. Sometimes it&#8217;s even on a daily basis as we struggle with how we feel and we ask ourselves \u201cwould a real Christian feel like how I do right now when I\u2019m doing so much wrong?\u201d We have to remember that Abraham was credited with righteousness by faith and not by any works that came later.<\/p>\n<h2>Three: Faith is Tied to Grace by Promise<\/h2>\n<p>We often underestimate the extravagance of grace by adding things that must be done. Paul highlights God\u2019s empowering <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2010\/church\/birds-eye-view-of-promises\/\">promise to Abraham<\/a> (You will be a father of many nations). The same God who is able to create the universe by command and bring the dead back to life with a word, is the same God who made such promises.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, says Paul, the people who follow in Abraham\u2019s faith prove to be his true sons. That\u2019s an entire article on it\u2019s own about <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2008\/trinity\/how-is-jesus-the-son-of-god\/\">functional sonship<\/a> or you can just <a href=\"http:\/\/lmgtfy.com\/?q=DA+Carson+and+Sonship\">Google what DA Carson<\/a> says about it.<\/p>\n<p>In Romans 4:16-18 we see that the avenue of grace through faith is driven by the fact that <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2010\/dispensationalism\/keeping-promises-to-abraham-in-the-ot\/\">God made a promise<\/a> that he didn\u2019t have to. No one is rewarded salvation for believing; they believe because it is the Living God who graciously promises salvation.<\/p>\n<h2>Four: Faith\u2019s Object is God<\/h2>\n<p>Too often we applaud the spirituality of people of faith. The Bible never applauds a person for simply believing in anything; that\u2019s worthless. People are commanded to believe in God so that having the right object of faith is actually an act of obedience. That\u2019s actually pretty freeing. We\u2019re never judged on the strength or the weakness of our faith but rather on whom we have placed our faith. That\u2019s massive.<\/p>\n<p>Abraham in Romans 4:19-20 shows that it was God he aimed to glorify, it was God who empowered him, it was God who made the promises and <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2010\/israel\/excluded-seed-and-abraham\/\">it was God in whom he entrusted his future<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Five: Faith Results in Action<\/h2>\n<p>I love how Romans 4:19-21 also shows the dynamic element of faith that James talks about in James 2. Abraham didn\u2019t simply let go and let God, but Paul says that Abraham\u00a0 \u201cdid not waver in unbelief\u201d and \u201che grew strong in faith\u201d. Abraham, says Paul, winds up giving \u201cglory to God\u201d in opposition to the folk who refused to give glory to God by giving thanks in Romans 1:21.<\/p>\n<h2>Six: Faith is For Us<\/h2>\n<p>All of this which had happened back in Genesis 15 was written for our sake, says Paul in Romans 4:22-25\u2014but I like how he says it \u201cto whom [righteousness] will be credited. That makes the passage extend out not only to the believers who are reading the text but the people who have not yet believed but will believe. They now have the confidence of coming near in simple faith because that\u2019s the channel where God has promised to act through.<\/p>\n<p>You see, says Paul, God has acted in Christ in history by having him die for our transgressions and rise again for our justification, so that when we do believe he does credit His righteousness in our behalf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is faith?
