The Bible teaches that the just shall live by faith, relying on the righteousness of Christ rather than their own.
Hebrews 10:38 states, 'Now the just shall live by faith,' indicating that faith is the foundation of righteous living. This faith is not something we produce ourselves but is given to us by God through His grace. It is a faith that looks solely to Jesus Christ as our righteousness and source of acceptance before God. In a world where people often rely on their own works to justify themselves, Scripture points to the necessity of faith in Christ, who is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Living by faith means recognizing that all our sufficiency and righteousness come through Him.
