Habakkuk 2:4: 'Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith.'
Habakkuk was confused about why God was using a wicked nation to discipline Israel.
God's answer included this line. The righteous don't survive by sight. They live by faith.
Paul will quote this in Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews to define the gospel.
Faith isn't a one-time decision. It's the daily way the righteous walk through life.
