The Just shall Live by Faith
Habakkuk 2:4 - "The just shall live by faith.
This verse has been repeated in three New Testament books (Romans, Galatians and Hebrews), also the rallying verse that sparked the Reformation.We also do not just sit and wait while violence, perversion, corruption and destruction happens. We are also called to seek justice in our own capacities, individually and collectively: (1:30-min vid)
"At last meditating day and night, by the mercy of God, I began to understand that the righteousness of God is that through which the just live by a gift of God, namely by faith. Here I felt as if I were entirely born again and had entered paradise itself through the gates that had been flung open."—Martin Luther, 1514
Lord, I pray that Your Church will rise up to be Your mighty arms and caring hands to a suffering world.
