"Through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name’s sake" (Romans 1:5).
Federal Visionists verses like this because they think that Paul is saying that faith can obey. This is sheer Romanism.
The Reformed faith has always insisted that faith is not a work. Faith does nothing but rest in the active obedience of Christ. If you try to get your faith to obey, then you are failing to rest in Christ. Christ has done it all so that you can do nothing!
