The Just shall live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4).

The Lord stated that though the world is dominated by evil and wicked, that would be destroyed and the only people not shaken would be the righteous and also those who live by faith.

It is the “just" or the righteous, who at the end will emerge victorious. The righteous are contrasted with the proud and the ungodly whose lives are not upright. The hearts of the righteous are turned to God and they desire to be his children to have close fellowship with Him and to obey His Will.

The righteous must live in this world by faith in God. Here faith means a steadfast trust in God, a personal loyalty to Him as Saviour, to follow His ways.

Faith involves repentance, obedience to God and his words, and it includes a heartfelt personal devotion, commitment. Only this faith brings us into a new relationship with God and exempts us from wrath. (Romans 1:18).

Let us have faith in Christ our Saviour, the only way for our Salvation.
