“And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.”
Luke 18:42 KJV
The blind beggar who hollered for Jesus to have mercy on him was brought to Jesus. Jesus asked him what he wanted and he replied that he may see. Jesus responded, Look up! Your faith has made you well. Jesus commended the blind man’s faith who didn’t ask for a miracle and then believe, but rather believed first and received his miracle. The true Gospel is from faith to faith and the dynamic of the Gospel is the revelation of God’s faith as the only valid basis for our belief. It is God’s faith to begin with, and not our good or bad behaviour. The just live by God’s faith. This is the new covenant of the Gospel of grace that the promises of God outdate any performance. Let’s celebrate that our righteousness is not by works but by God’s faith! Let’s celebrate that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus! Glory to God!
