“Coffee with Christ”

(Habakkuk 2:4)

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.”

What does it mean “To Live By” something? It’s not the same thing as to live next to someone or some thing. It’s not talking about survival due to some power or ability such as our wits. Here, we are talking about living in accordance to a standard or a principal. Many different people live by many different principals and standards, but all who have been justified by Grace through Faith live by the standard God has set for us in Scripture. They do not live by faith in just any ol wind of doctrine that comes along, but by Faith and confidence in every word that proceeds from the Mouth of God! We live by Faith in God, not just the fact that He exists, but by Faith in what He says. believing it to the point that we surrender our lives to live by His Word! God was so serious about our living by Faith, He reiterated it by using this statement in both the Old and the New Testament and in four different Books!

(Romans 1:17) “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”

(Galatians 3:11) “But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.”
