No Hypocrisy Here

romans 1:17

 

what does it actually mean for the righteous to live by faith? i think it must have to do with how our actions will line up with what we profess to believe if we truly believe in it. As the MSG version explains, "the person in right standing before God by trusting him really lives." i take this to mean that if we really believe we'll not only go out and do what we say, but faith within us will shine through and we'll glow for God, thereby "confirming what Scripture has said all along."

now i have to figure out how that translate into my own life...

well. on second thought, its pretty straight forward. no hypocrisy here--do that which you profess and turn from sin. dont give just part of yourself over to God and continue doing some things on your own, your way. thats not how it goes. like mentioned during sunday school with the story of samson and delilah. samson said that she was right in his eyes, but clearly she wasn't in God's eyes.  yet, he kept that part of himself--tbh he kept like all of himself--away from the righteousness of God and he paid the price for it.

yo. stop cussing. its not cool and you know it. no hypocrisy here. #currentstruggles
