What does it mean that the just shall live by faith?

Answered in 2 sources

It means that those declared righteous by God will consistently trust in Him for their salvation and daily needs.

The phrase 'the just shall live by faith' encapsulates a core principle of the Christian faith, emphasizing that righteousness before God as attributed to believers requires active and ongoing faith. This ongoing faith integrates our daily experiences with God's promises and assures us that even when we face uncertainty, God remains faithful. The just are those who trust in Christ, acknowledging their reliance on Him not just at the moment of conversion but throughout their lives. It highlights a lifestyle of faith that impacts every aspect, reinforcing the idea that our justification—our right standing with God—leads to a life characterized by continual trust and reliance on Him.
