Romans 1:17

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

How can we receive a Word from the Lord by faith without reading it by faith?

What value is there in reading a series of quoted scriptures that are given to any writer if we do not read those quotes with the same faith in which they are given?

They are revealed from faith for faith. They are not given to be analyzed, scrutinized, discussed, or even agreed upon without faith.

Romans 14:23 b

For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.

That is a hard saying but just because it is hard does not change the truth.

Read it by faith and know it is true.

If you need context, read this.

Romans 1:3-6

English Standard Version

3 concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh 4 and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, 6 including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,

We are included because we placed our faith in Christ and access to the righteousness of God that reveals how to live by faith can only be found in Christ where we are included.

The world hates us because they believe we have set ourselves apart and above them, as being special in ways that we deny them. That is not true. God is the one that sets us apart.

Acts 26:18

to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

Do they even know they live in darkness?

I knew no more about what was going to come than Isaac did.

Proverbs 28:10

Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance.

The one good thing about reruns is a known outcome.

This is somewhat true of the bible, that our outcome is known. So why would we read the bible every day if it is the same yesterday and today?

2 Corinthians 4:16

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

Considering everything the outward has to endure in this world during these days, it is the inward that is renewed and that is not a rerun. We have to deal with the here and now without any true expectation of results. We sojourn in a land that is not our home. Our home, our true home is in Christ Jesus with God the Father.

Our physical bodies hurt and are subject to events not of our own making because of those who do not know or believe in God Almighty. Our sphere of influence is small given we serve our Lord as best we can with our limitations.

• Matthew 17:20
  He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
• Luke 17:6
  And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

Has anyone actually tried to use their faith to move a mountain or a tree? I doubt it because those of us who know by faith that the mountain is a very large stoney heart and the tree is a man that has been planted in the wrong place and needs to be replanted by the stream of living waters.

Not  all parables are labeled as parables. Metaphor or simile matters not in our ability by faith to extract meaning from God’s Word. Read the Word and what it has for you today has purpose and in that sense it is never a rerun.
