quotations of Hab. ii. 4. Before we ,
can lire by faith we must be justified
by faith, made just or righteous (Rom.
v, 1), and that takes us to the first “be-
lieve” tn the Bible tn connection with
righteousness (Gen. xv, 6), “He believed
tn the Lord, and He counted it to him
for righteousness.” This also is quoted
just three times in the New Testament
(Rom. iv, 3; GaL ill 6; Jas. ft, 23). so
these must be very important sayings
Our first great need to righteousness,
the kind that God requires and ha-
provided fully in Christ and can be
obtained only by faith (Rom. x. 3. 4)
Then, being saved, we must glorify
God by a righteous life, and this also j
is by faith, for as we have received
Christ Jesus the Lord so must we walk
In Him (Col. IL 6). Faith and pattern e
are the two essential things in the dal
