The righteous will live by faithThe Holy Spirit repeats in Habakkuk, Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews that the righteous man shall live by faith, contrasting true divine righteousness with human pride and self-righteousness.
Justified by faith, not the lawNo one is justified before God by keeping the law, but those who receive God's righteousness endure to the end by walking and living by faith.Galatians 3:11Hebrews 10:38
Choosing to live by faith and not by natural sensesTrue blessedness comes from not living by what we see, hear, or feel with natural senses, choosing instead to trust God's eternal promises just as Abraham did.John 20:29
Maintaining a blameless conscienceA righteous person empowered by the Holy Spirit strives to maintain a constant, blameless conscience before both God and man.
Water baptism as an appeal for a good conscienceWater baptism corresponds to Noah's salvation through water, serving as an appeal to God for a good conscience rather than just physical cleansing.1 Peter 3:21
Cleansing the conscience from dead worksThe blood of Christ cleanses our conscience not only from sin but also from dead works, reminding us that even religious activities performed without faith are dead.Hebrews 9:13–14
Once I was blind, now I seeUsing the example of the man born blind in John 9, believers are encouraged to hold fast to their testimony of spiritual sight despite opposition from proud religious systems.
Jacob's breaking and ending life in worshipGod must break us in our strong places just as He did with Jacob at Peniel, so that we ultimately lean upon Him and worship Him as we finish our earthly race.Genesis 32:31
Encouragement for the righteous in ChristGod reassures His redeemed people through Isaiah not to fear, promising His constant presence when they pass through rough waters and difficult places.Isaiah 43:1–5
