Episode notes
Faith Is The Precondition For Obedience
- Faith precedes obedience because faith places us into God's righteousness, enabling power to obey beyond the flesh.
- Peter Lewis ties Romans 1:5 and 1:16–17 to show gospel revelation produces righteousness "from faith to faith," which then yields obedient living.
Gospel Reveals Righteousness From Faith To Faith
- The gospel is the sustaining power of God that reveals God's righteousness and enables ongoing salvation and growth.
- Lewis explains Romans 1:16–17: the gospel reveals righteousness "from faith to faith," meaning repeated reception of the gospel keeps us in righteousness.
