New Testament Scripture also exemplifies such things, but with at least two major distinctions: First, the object of one’s faith is to be in Jesus Christ. It involves trust, loyalty, and commitment. What Christians can learn from Roman fides is the importance of regulating one’s life around faith. Both Paul and James speak of faith being exemplified through love. Personally, I doubt that he would have any problems with James’s affirmation that faith without works is dead being alone (James 2:14–17). Paul also speaks about the “work of faith” (1 Thessalonians 1:3), and the “obedience of faith (Romans 1:5). He affirms that faith works itself out in love (Galatians 5:6). “Good works,” on the other hand, are something Paul commends. Paul teaches that faith in Christ rather than observations from the law is what makes a person righteous before God. The practice of “works of the law” often separated Jews from gentiles, instigating social and ethnic divisions in the churches. On the contrary, he contrasts faith and “works of the Law.” These are external observances of Moses’s Law, especially in relation to practices such as circumcision. A common misconception is that Paul contrasts faith and works (good deeds). People are justified by faith in Christ (Galatians 2:16 Romans 3:20–28). The Apostle Paul considered faith to be essential for salvation. There we find faithful saints in Israel’s traditions were, by faith, committed to trust God and even suffer for God’s sake. This is exemplified by the “Hall of faith” discussed in the Hebrews 11. Jesus encourages bold trust when teaching that faith the size of a mustard seed can remove mountains (Matthew 17:20).įaith also assumes faithfulness based on Old Testament Scripture. For Christians, faith ( pisteuô/ pistis) essentially means “to believe,” “to trust,” and “to rely on,” among other things. We see that fides essentially regulates Roman life. Failure to uphold religious obligations would incur divine wrath.” Christian Faith as Fides As such, classicists inform us that “A patron who broke faith with his client by abuse of his power was placed under a curse.” Likewise, “A magistrate who broke faith by acts of injustice and oppression against the people gave the latter the right to rebel.” įor the Romans, then, “Faith rooted in the social conscience was stronger than written law or statue as a force for holding all parts of the society together in a common bond of relationship. Its violations they interpreted as offenses to their community and to the gods. Romans thus interpreted faith as vitally relational and the “supreme guarantee of human happiness.” And since Romans connected fides with law and religion, they understood it as “the foundation of religious, public, and private life.” Faith as trust, loyalty, and trustworthiness operates between: Deities such as Jupiter and Fides sanction faith in making contracts, treaties, and war. Teresa Morgan states how essential Fides, the goddess and personification of faith, is to Roman life and society. Such oaths bind a person in obligation to justice and faith before the supreme deity, Jupiter ( On Duties 3.28.102–04). When discussing honorable character and expediency, Cicero connects faith to religious oaths.
