God Quote-Righteousness By Faith

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the LORD says in Habakkuk 2:4b.

“The righteous person will live by his faithfulness.”

Righteousness is not attained based on our good deeds outweighing our bad deeds. It is rather given to us when we put our faith in Jesus Christ.

Righteousness by faith-this becomes the theme of the Gospel in the writings of the New Testament. Romans 10:9 explains how this righteous faith is proclaimed, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.

Habakkuk 2:4b-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
