A righteous human will live by Gods standards of truth, morality, justice, and social commitments. A righteous man will look outside himself to the Lord. Righteousness is possible to a man only through Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus Christ makes you righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21). In the New Testament, the same statements about faith are there in Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38. You got saved by your faith in Jesus, not by any good deeds or any written laws. As Christians we should live by the faith in Jesus. Martin Luther, the famous monk started his reformation through this verse. Luther was always guilty and very much aware of his sins, which made him fall short from Gods laws.

It is a responsibility placed upon each believer to decide to obey God’s word and live out this great salvation worked in us by Christ. We are to live out our salvation with a sense of fear and trembling – not in craven, cowardly or weak fear – but with a sense of godly fear, a frame of mind which embodies humility – with a sense of respect to God and His character and nature we see in scripture; with a sense to live this life worthy of the calling. Because we understand it is God who works in us – it is His divine nature that helps us and instructs us – it is His Holy Spirit who teaches us – but it is our responsibility to walk obediently “Keep in step with the Holy Spirit” to act according to His good purpose and work out own

This begs the question: when did race, the black race particularly, and injustice become so synonymous? I sit here wondering about each race and ethnicity of persons that are gathering his or her thoughts as well about the question that has been presented before us to attempt. Now at the age of thirty a Black, African American, how can I pluck out just one incident that has directly or indirectly affected me?

Paul makes it clear that those who continue to live in sin and reject God's offer of salvation will be subject to his wrath and judgment. This is a powerful and terrifying message, but it is also meant to serve as a wake-up call to those who are living in sin and in need of salvation. Throughout Romans 1, Paul also emphasizes the importance of faith. He states that "the righteous shall live by faith" (Romans 1:17), and goes on to explain that it is through faith that we are justified and made right with God. This focus on faith is critical to Paul's overall message, as it underscores the importance of personal faith in the process of salvation.
