Romans 1:17 This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
There are many standards that we people used to measure ourselves in world, there are wealthiness, generousity, etc. As a result, some people has the opinion that our lives are all meant by these things, they were these things that determine our lives. Hence, somebody might say that, you are only saved when you do good more, the more you involve in charitable work, the higher the level you are in heaven; Some might say, your standard in heaven in the future is determined by your bank savings account, if you are wealthy now, then you will be enjoying to heaven.
Friends, I tell you, Certainly Not! How many of you understand that it is unfair and unjust to determine the eternal by those standards? If the standard is money, then how about those people who are in poverty? Is it we say that they will not go to heaven and enjoying eternal life? No!! But, thank god, He has given us a very just way as standard to enjoy eternal life, this thing is possesed by all young and old, rich and poors, righteous and wicked, even a baby of a few months old still occupies this, that is FAITH. Bible told us, without faith it is impossible to please God. A baby is able to put his/her faith into his mother's hands so that when his mother is carrying him/her, he/she will not fall down. We also trust the chair we sit now(while you are watching this article), that the chair won't collapse when you sit on it.
It is the same with God, when we believe in Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection, and we open our hearts to him and accepts him, we will enjoy eternal life, it is not some sort of the exchange programme, it is the matter about before and after. God cannot force you to believe him when you don't want to, so he cannot do anything on you because you refused him, but at the moment you open your heart, he will began to work in your heart!
At the end, it is a proper saying that it is through faith that a righteous person has life!
