How do we know that the just shall live by faith?

Answered in 1 source

The just shall live by faith is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in Habakkuk and reiterated in the New Testament.

In Habakkuk 2:4, God declares, 'Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.' This foundational truth indicates that righteousness before God is obtained through faith, not works. The Apostle Paul reaffirms this doctrine in Galatians 2:16, stating that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. This underscores the Reformed understanding that faith itself is a gift from God, enabling the believer to trust in Christ's righteousness rather than their own, and thus, live justly before God.
