Romans 1:16 – 17 tells us that the righteousness of God is received by faith in Jesus Christ. Our good works, or righteous deeds cannot justify us before God. In fact, there is no human that is righteous before God. God therefore sent His Son Jesus to become our righteousness so that through Him, and by faith in Him we might be saved. This sermon take a deeper look at Biblical faith. Biblical faith is believing from the heart (Romans 10:9, 10). Biblical Faith is a gift of God (Ephesians 2:8). Biblical Faith is persevering in nature (Hebrews 10:39; cf. Romans 1:17). Biblical faith is evidenced by a changing life (James 2:17).
Peter in his first epistle, provides a wonderful description of faith in 1 Peter 1:8–9, “Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”
