Obedience
He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.
John 3:36 NASB
Martin Luther restored to the church at large the understanding of justification by faith alone with the divine inspiration of the verse, “the just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17). Man was broken, and completely incapable of pleasing a perfect God, and needed the divine to descend and make a demarkation, an end of man’s corruption, and remake him anew.
It was faith, and faith alone, that Paul wrote about, that connected us to the saving Grace made available by Christ. By faith Abel had made a better offering, and by faith, Abraham was counted righteous when he believed, not wavering with unbelief.
