“The Righteous Will Live by Faith”
Habakkuk 1:12-2:5
Cliff Blair
The prophet Habakkuk laments God's plan to judge Judah using the wicked Chaldeans, struggling to understand how a holy God could use such unrighteous instruments. In response, God commands Habakkuk to wait and trust. This pivotal verse becomes a cornerstone of New Testament theology, showing that believers are justified not by works or understanding, but by faith.
