16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

Big Point: Focusing on 1:17, The Believers’ Powerful, Saving Gospel is Sola Fide

• A Present Hope: Faith Receives Present Righteousness accomplished in the PAST- Participle translated “Which Is Revealed”
• A Present Hope MUST BE Received NOW and WILL BE Lived: The Centrality of Faith “From Faith for Faith”
• A Present Hope Received by Faith Founded and Based TRANSTEMPORALLY/in the Eternal Counsel of God: Proved from Scripture, Habakkuk 2:4
