The Just Shall Live By Faith - Habakkuk Questions God

3 years ago
33

The book of Habakkuk teaches us throughout that the just will live by faith... one of the most important biblical principles is found in this ancient prophetic book. Truly, the righteous shall live by faith!

Habakkuk cries out "how long o Lord". Habakkuk sees the decay and decline of his beloved Judah. He has been praying to God to intervene... but nothing is happening... God is not punishing the evil doers... and Habakkuk asks "how long until you act"?

God is going to help Habakkuk understand by giving him a big picture view of God’s plan for dealing with the nations like babylon. Having this long range view builds faith… it gives meaning and purpose to human experience, human suffering, and human history. So, knowing the big picture [and the scripture that backs it up] is worth your attention.

The righteous will live by faith!
