Revealed From Faith To Faith, part 1 (Romans 1:17, Romans 9:30-10:4)
Paul Johnson, April 25, 2021Part of the Romans series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Verse 17 contains the apostle Paul's third reason for preaching the gospel, but it also contains an emphasis on faith. Using language common to identifying beginning and ending, start and finish, faith is said to occupy both points when it comes to God's revelation in the gospel to a human heart.

Romans 1:17
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
(ESV)
Romans 9:30–10:4
30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 as it is written,
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
10:1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
