Piling It All Up

**

"It is 'out of faith that the righteous person shall live' (Rom. 1:17)...Doing God's will is not a matter of product but of process. God's will is not some sort of blueprint of right decisions sketched in a divine book, the doing of which or the failure to do which means reward or punishment...If we piled up all the prescriptions in Torah, all the commandments of Jesus, all the directions of Paul, all the letters of councils and popes, and all the codicils of canon law, they would cover only a small portion of the situations we face in our lives...

...What God wills is...the whole process of living itself. 'To do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.' These are verbs, not nouns, and they are all progressive. It is in faithing, the risk-filled adventure of human freedom, that God sees righteousness."

Luke T. Johnson Faith's Freedom
