My Righteous One Will Live By Faith

Hebrews 10:37-11:1 - For, “Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay; but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls. Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.


Habakkuk 2:4 - “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith.

Hebrews 6:9 - Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation.

Hebrews 3:5-6 - Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 – For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Application:

· Am I continuing to trust in God? Am I clinging to God’s promises?
· Does my life give evidence of genuine spiritual renewal?
· Am I holding fast to God? Am I enduring with Him?
· Am I losing heart by fixing my eyes on visible things? Or am I looking up and away at eternal and imperishable realities?

Not A Righteous Man On Earth

Ecclesiastes 7:17-20 - Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool—why die before your time? It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. The man who fears God will avoid all extremes . Wisdom makes one wise man more powerful than ten rulers in a city. There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins.

Proverbs 20:9 - Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin"?

Application:

· Am I reckless?
· Do I avoid legalism and do I regard authority? Do I lead a truly righteous and wise life?
· I do not do what is right and I sin!
· I am not without sin, but my sins have been forgiven! Therefore, I have clean hands and a pure heart!
