It is this last verse which is the key to the revelation. The righteous shall live by faith. It was Abraham who was declared righteous, because he believed God. Now in the age of the prophets, on the advent of the New Covenant, God is instructing us on how righteous is won. It is not by works of the Law or through any form of merit. It is not by clamoring to God that your people do better then their people. Righteousness is by belief or faith in the object of faith which is the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is the key to salvation as defined by Christ after his life, death, and resurrection. The just (saved) shall live by faith.
Daily Prayer: Father, we are grateful for the long trail of salvation history. By learning from your word, it can teach us how to live out our lives now, so as to be a fragrant aroma to you in heaven. Train our minds now I pray Amen.
