The Just shall live by Faith !
The Just shall live by Faith !
This particular statement is found 3 times in the NT Rom 1:17;Gal 3:11;Heb 10:38, and once in the OT Habakkuk 2:4, and in all of them there's a certain Promise made, which is this:
" The just shall[a promise] live by faith." or as its stated once in the OT reference, "the just shall live by his faith."
Now within this Promise Two things are sure to come to past, #1 Everyone that Christ died for, in the Old and New Testament, they shall live by Faith, its guaranteed and here is why:
Everyone Christ died for, that being His Obedience unto Death, even the Death of the Cross, shall be made Just or Righteous Phil 2:8;Rom 5:19
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
That word righteous in the greek is dikaios, which is the same word translated Just in Rom 1:17;Gal 3:11;Heb 10:38, hence by the One Obedience of Christ, His Death, the Many shall be made Righteous or Just, to which the Promise attends, "The Just shall live by Faith !"
And if Gods word of Promise is True, all for whom Christ died shall and must live by Faith.
Remember Gods shall when it came to Sarah having a Son in her old age, We read that Gods Promise was Gen 18:10,14
10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
14 Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
Thats Gods shall promise, its even called a word of promise Rom 9:9
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
Well those Christ died for and made Just, its Gods certain Promise they shall live by Faith, as it was with His Promise, Sarah shall have a Son !
