Faith is the divine service that receives the benefits offered by God...

The difference between this faith and the righteousness of the Law can be easily discerned.  Faith is the divine service (latreia) that receives the benefits offered by God.  The righteousness of the Law is the divine service (latreia) that offers to God our merits.  God wants to be worshiped through faith so that we recieve from Him those things He promises and offers.
