LIVE BY HIS FAITH
Habakkuk 2:4
If any man should shrink back, My soul will not be well pleased in him; but the righteous shall live by My faith.
Personal Challenge
This verse is quoted by Paul when he is proclaiming that we are saved by God's grace and not works. The works that Paul was referring to are the works that the Judaizers imposed on Gentiles in order to be proselytized, or in Pauls' day, to become Christians. Clearly, the argument that Paul makes is that there is no work that we can do to earn God's grace because then it would no longer be grace. It does not, however, preclude us from doing good works for our Lord out of our love and appreciation for Him and His grace bestowed upon us. This is how we live by His faith indwelling within us. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
