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

Answered in 1 source

'The just shall live by faith' means that those who are justified by God are called to continually rely on Him.

'The just shall live by faith' articulates a profound truth about the believer's identity. The term 'just' refers to those who have been declared righteous before God, not through their works, but by faith in Christ. This phrase emphasizes that the life of a believer is characterized by a continual reliance on God's promises and His grace. Throughout scripture, believers are reminded of their dependence on Christ, who is the source of their strength and sustenance. Living by faith involves looking to God for strength, trusting His plan and purpose amid life's uncertainties and challenges, and anticipating the fulfillment of His promises in the future.
Scripture References: Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11
