rookie,

Quote. Scripture from you:

Jn.8:12,"I Am The Light of the world,He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness,but have The Light of Life."

* Jesus spoke Light / Life,...His life / walk expressed that Light / Life.
What does this Light mean?

It means,.." Ps.119:105, " Thy Word is a Light unto my feet."
..." Ps.119:140,Thy Word is very Pure,therefore Thy servant Loveth it."...
119:154," quicken me according to your Word."...

Ps.119:130,"The entrance of Thy Words giveth Light."...
Ps.27:1, "The Lord is my Light and my salvation."...
Ps.36:9, " In Thy Light shall we see Light.."

As He gives Light,His quickened Word,Then do we SEE,more and more
unto the perfect day.

But then we become without excuse...to walk in those Truths.
Scary huh?...The fear of God.

Until again,
elizabeth

Elisabeth,

The Scripture below is commentary on what you wrote above...



Rom 1:17
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.


As you have written, then we SEE more and more unto a perfect day is the same as the "righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith..."



Rom 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:



So all men are without excuse because God has witnessed to every man. We know this because...


Jhn 1:9
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Rom 1:17
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith:


The mercy of God tenderly forgives us our shortcomings according to the flesh. But the grace of God is revealed from faith to faith.

What do you suppose this means...faith to faith?

rookie,

You said. " The Grace of God is revealed from faith to faith."

Well rookie, I believe faith means hearing from God,and obeying,...
It is the Abrahamic type faith,..the Faith of Jesus,...and the apostles.

And Grace is 'the Devine effluence upon the heart,and it's reflection in the Life.

So,..as God reveals His will in our life,...As we hear,..or as The Lord draws us to His will through His Grace,..over and over,....on and on,then that is from faith to faith.

Yes and amen.


And so Paul writes:

Rom 5:1
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we havefn peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Rom 5:2
through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.


So faith, biblical faith is the means by which one is justified and stands. It is faith that ensures peace with God.
