How do we know that living by faith is essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that righteousness and life are obtained through faith in Christ, as seen in Habakkuk 2:4.

The doctrine that the just shall live by faith is a central tenet of Scripture, reinforced in Habakkuk 2:4, where it states that 'the just shall live by his faith.' This truth is echoed three times in the New Testament: Romans 1:17 highlights the righteousness of God received by faith, Galatians 3:11 emphasizes that justification cannot come by the law, but through faith, and Hebrews 10:38 points to the ongoing life of believers, which must also be sustained by faith. These passages collectively affirm that our standing before God and the manner in which we live our daily lives depend entirely on faith in Christ. It is not by our works, but by trusting in the finished work of Christ, that we are saved and sustained in our spiritual journey.
