Interesting scripture about faith

[Milo]

Have people read this scripture? (Whatever is not done in faith is sin.) This is so curious. So I was thinking on this a lot the last few days. Pondering it in my mine maybe trying to have it in a state of mind or as a lifestyle. So I got it as a part of my lifestyle today and it seems to be the best thing ever since sliced bread.

It's definitely underrated and maybe overlooked more than it should be. But to live a successful righteous life you must live by faith and act by faith. If you do something with doubt you really shouldn't do it. And faith is a good thing to live by for sure. One of my favorite verses in the bible without a doubt.

 

[Philip_B]

Romans 14:13-22 - Do Not Make Another Stumble
Let us therefore no longer pass judgement on one another, but resolve instead never to put a stumbling-block or hindrance in the way of another. I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. If your brother or sister is being injured by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you eat cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died. So do not let your good be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. The one who thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and has human approval. Let us then pursue what makes for peace and for mutual edification. Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for you to make others fall by what you eat; it is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother or sister stumble. The faith that you have, have as your own conviction before God. Blessed are those who have no reason to condemn themselves because of what they approve. But those who have doubts are condemned if they eat, because they do not act from faith; for whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.​

I think when you see the context, you gather that Paul is arguing his consistent case that faith is to be the primary motivation of all Godly and Christian actions. It is not so much that the do eat, or that they don't eat, but that the deciding factor is faith.

Hi; Hebrews 11 also describes faith as the operating principle of the Old Testament saints cited.
