How do we know that the doctrine of the just living by faith is true?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine is affirmed throughout the Bible, cited multiple times in both the Old and New Testaments.

The doctrine that 'the just shall live by faith' is affirmed multiple times in the Bible, specifically in Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, and Hebrews 10:38. Its repetition signifies the importance and truth of this concept within the scriptural narrative. In the context of Habakkuk, God's declaration contrasts the self-righteous with those who rely on faith. Paul, in Romans 1:17, connects this statement to the power of the Gospel, illustrating that justifying faith is essential for spiritual life. Moreover, this concept underscores the believer's complete dependence on Christ, affirming that faith is not merely intellectual assent but a personal trust in Jesus' redemptive work. Thus, its scriptural basis provides assurance of its truth and significance in the life of a Christian.
