“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith." Hab 2:4 NKJV
Reading This is the Life! by Warren Wiersbe, chapter two starts with these vereses: Habakkuk 2:3-4; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38
- Romans emphasis is on the just and how lost sinners can be justified (declared righteous) before God
- Galations is on how God's people live, free from the demands of the law, depending wholly on God's grace
- Hebrews emphasis is on words by faith, found at least nineteentime in the epistle
Habakkuk contrast two kinds of people in this world, unbelieving proud and self-sufficient people who think they don't need God, and the saved people who are justified because they have trusted Christ and expreienced God's saving grace. The true Christian is saved by faith (Eph 2:8-9) and lives by faith. "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Cor 5:7).
