The Righteous Live by Faith
November 5, 2028
Overview & Insights
"Look at the proud! Their spirit is not right in them, but the righteous live by their faith." (Habakkuk 2:4)
Habakkuk complains to God about the violence and injustice he sees going unanswered, and God tells him to wait for a vision that will surely come. This verse on the righteous living by faith later anchors Paul's doctrine of justification.
