Faith-to-Faith Resuscitation

[S] Romans 1:17 --
 ¹⁷For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."

[O] Just like how mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is an integral routine for CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) to revive a failed heart, faith-to-faith resuscitation seems to be a key factor in passing on the righteous lifestyle in God to subsequent generations.  It is not concept-to-faith, rhetoric-to-faith, or dream-to-faith.  It must be a genuine faith in action passing on from one generation to the next which also is actively living out such a lifestyle.  Such a lifestyle cannot be passed on just by heritage, or by writing a wonderful manual (we already have "the" manual called the Bible).  You never see a mouth-to-mouth done with a straw or a hose -- it's done through one mouth pressing against the other to breath in the air minimizing any loss of air.  Likewise, faith-to-faith must be done from one faith to the next tightly pressing against each other to minimize any loss of faith.

[A] Such a timely message for me because we're currently going through some issues to deal with at home with our children and I am realizing how critical it will be for me not to lose focus of passing on the righteous lifestyle by pressing my own faith hard against theirs to pass on this message of attaining the righteousness of God through their faithful living.

[P] Dear Father, grant our family to live by faith alone, to please You and to live out a life that will be passing on such a faith from generations onward.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
