What does the Bible mean by 'the just shall live by faith'?

Answered in 1 source

'The just shall live by faith' indicates that those justified by Christ continually rely on Him for their righteousness and salvation.

'The just shall live by faith,' as seen in Hebrews 10:38, emphasizes that those who are justified by God depend on faith as the fundamental aspect of their lives. This faith is not a one-time event but an ongoing position of trust in Christ. It underlines the belief that our righteousness before God is not sourced from our own works or merits but from Christ alone. Living by faith means continuously looking to and resting in Christ for our salvation, assurance, and daily sustenance. This principle reflects the heart of Reformed theology, affirming that our lives are to be characterized by a persistent faith in the finished work of Jesus.
