Romans 1:17 continues to unfold why the Apostle Paul is not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The good news is not only the power of God for salvation, it is also the revelation of the righteousness of God, a righteousness received by faith. These verses serve as a summary for the letter, outlining primary themes that follow: the gospel, God, righteousness, and faith. Each of these are doctrines that we both want to understand and apply as we grow together in Christ.

Associate Pastor Dale South brings a message from Galatians 3:10-29 as we continue in our series, "Walking the Road Together."For more information, please visit: http://www.wcchapel.org
The prophet Habakkuk does what most of us only do in private: he argues with God. Why do the wicked prosper? Why does violence go unchecked? God's answer is stranger than the question: He's raising up the Chaldeans, a “nasty” nation hell bent on destruction. The book moves from complaint to cosmic courtroom to a beautiful temple hymn, ending with a confession of faith that holds nothing back. "Though the fig tree should not blossom... yet I will rejoice in the Lord." The Rev. David Boisclair, senior pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, Missouri, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Habakkuk 1–3. To learn more about Our Redeemer, visit ourredeemerstl.org. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

The Righteous Shall Live By Faithfulness( Habakkuk 2 )
As we continue our series in Romans, Ross helps us to understand what it truly means to know God and to live by faith.Join us next week as we continue our series at 9:30 and 11:30am at UWL, or at 6:30pm at The Hub. Find out more at redeemerlondon.org.
The sermon centers on Habakkuk 2:4, emphasizing that the righteous will live by faith, not by moral performance or self-reliance, but through a steadfast trust in God's promises fulfilled in Jesus Christ. It clarifies that 'righteous' refers to a legal declaration by God, not moral perfection, and that this justification is possible only through Christ's substitutionary sacrifice, which satisfies divine justice and enables forgiveness. The phrase 'will live' signifies receiving eternal life as a gift, not earned by faithfulness, but sustained by ongoing trust in God's faithfulness. The contrast is drawn between the proud, who rely on themselves and face condemnation, and the humble believer, who, like a dependent child, trusts God completely. The message calls the hearers to reject pride and embrace childlike faith, recognizing salvation as a gracious gift received through faith in Christ alone.
Galatians 3:1-14 English Standard Version By Faith, or by Works of the Law? 3 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. 2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by[a] the flesh? 4 Did you suffer[b] so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— 6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”? 7 Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify[c] the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. The Righteous Shall Live by Faith 10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”[d] 12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit[e] through faith.

The sermon centers on Habakkuk 2:4, emphasizing that while the proud are condemned for their arrogance, the righteous will live by faith—a declaration of legal innocence before God, not moral perfection. It clarifies that 'the righteous' refers to those judicially declared innocent by God, based on His verdict, not their moral character, and traces this concept through Scripture from Abraham's faith to the Mosaic sacrificial system and the prophetic vision of the suffering servant in Isaiah 53. The passage reveals that justification is possible because the righteous servant bears the iniquities of others, fulfilling God's justice through substitutionary atonement. The sermon underscores that faith is not a moral achievement but a trust in God's provision, culminating in the cross, where the guilty are declared innocent through Christ's sacrifice. This faith-based righteousness, rooted in Old Testament revelation, is the foundation of salvation throughout Scripture.
In Galatians 3:10–12, the Apostle Paul brings his argument for justification by faith to a decisive conclusion. After appealing to the testimony of the Triune God (Christ crucified, the Father giving the Spirit, the Spirit working powerfully) and to the promises made to Abraham, Paul now shows why the law can never justify—because it can only pronounce a curse on sinners.Paul's reasoning is careful and often misunderstood. On the one hand, he decisively rejects legalism: any attempt to be justified by works of the law places a person under God's curse, since the law demands nothing less than perfect obedience. Quoting Deuteronomy 27:26, Paul reminds us that failure at even one point brings condemnation. This leaves every sinner without hope if justification depends on law-keeping.On the other hand, Paul is not promoting antinomianism. He is not denying the goodness of God's law or the necessity of obedience in the Christian life. Rather, he is distinguishing between the ground of justification and the fruit of justification. Obedience does not earn righteousness, but true righteousness by faith always produces obedience.To establish this, Paul appeals to Habakkuk 2:4: “The righteous shall live by faith.” In its original context, this declaration came in the face of impending judgment. Those who would survive God's wrath would do so not by flawless obedience, but by trusting in the Lord and His provision of atonement. Paul rightly draws out the abiding principle: escape from judgment—both temporal and final—comes only through faith.Paul then contrasts two fundamentally opposed systems: justification by works and justification by faith. The first rests on human effort and ends in curse; the second rests on Christ's righteousness and ends in life. When Paul says, “the law is not of faith,” he is not rejecting Moses or the Mosaic covenant as legalistic. Instead, he insists that Moses himself taught that perfect obedience is required by the law—and therefore that sinners must seek salvation outside themselves, in God's promised Redeemer.The result is a unified biblical message: Moses and Paul agree. Scripture from beginning to end teaches that justification is by grace through faith alone, and that obedience flows from a heart transformed by that grace.This passage confronts every hearer with a searching question:Will you stand before God on the basis of your own obedience—or will you take refuge in Christ alone? The righteous, Paul declares, shall live by faith.

In this message, Eric unpacks what it means to live by faith when God's timing feels slow and His ways feel mysterious.Through the story of Habakkuk, we're reminded that God's timing is perfect, His character is unchanging, and His plans are wiser than we can see.From patience in the waiting to trusting God through uncertainty, this message calls us to anchor ourselves in who God is; the One who is holy, sovereign, loving, and always faithful.Listen and be encouraged to live boldly by faith, even when life doesn't make sense.Join us every Sunday at Voortrekker High School for our Service; 9 a.m. for prayer in the quad and at 9:30 a.m. for the service.See you there, and be blessed.#CommonGroundWynberg #ANationUnderGodsJudgement #Habakkuk #FaithInTheWaiting #GodIsFaithful #WhenGodSeemsSilent #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #CapeTownChurch #SundayMessage

In Habakkuk 2:2-20 we see that living by faith means taking God at His word and viewing your present circumstances through the lens of His promises.
Habakkuk (embrace)According to the Smith's Bible Dictionary, Habakkuk means (embrace). This book would be the eighth, in order, of the Minor Prophets. Of the facts of the prophet's life, we have no certain information.One important aspect of the ancient Old Testament order of the Hebrew Bible is that the 12 prophetic works of Hosea through Malachi, sometimes referred to as the Minor Prophets, were designed as a single book called The Twelve. Habakkuk is the eighth book of The Twelve.Habakkuk lived in the final decades of Judah, Israel's southern kingdom. It was a time of injustice and idolatry, and he saw the rising threat of the Babylonian empire on the horizon. Unlike the other Hebrew prophets, Habakkuk doesn't accuse Israel or even speak to the people on Yahweh's behalf. Instead, all of his words are addressed to Yahweh. The book of Habakkuk tells us about Habakkuk's personal struggle to believe that Yahweh is good when there is so much tragedy and evil in the world.Habakkuk sees the darkness of the world as an invitation to have faith in Yahweh's promise to one day set things right. Living with such faith means trusting that Yahweh loves this world and works to one day eliminate all evil forever.In this chapter 2 we have an answer expected by the prophet (verse 1), and returned by the Spirit of Yahweh, to the complaints which the prophet made of the violence's and victories of the Chaldeans in the close of the prior chapter. The answer is, I. That after Yahweh has served his own purposes by the prevailing power of the Chaldeans, has tried the faith and patience of his people, and distinguished between the hypocrites and the sincere among them, he will consider with the Chaldeans, will humble and bring down, not only that proud monarch Nebuchadnezzar, but that proud monarchy, for their boundless and greedy thirst after dominion and wealth, for which they themselves should at length be made a prey (verses 2-8). II. That not they only, but all other sinners like them, should perish under a divine woe. 1. Those that are jealous are greedy of wealth and honors (verses 9, 11). 2. Those that are harmful and oppressive, and raise estates by wrongful acts and the violent seizure of someone's property (verses 12-14). 3. Those that promote drunkenness that they may expose their neighbors' to shame (verses 15-17). 4. Those that worship idols (verses 18-20).1 Habakkuk resolutely waits for Yahweh's reply.watch = ‘mish-meh'-reth' watch-tower; referring to the place. set me = take my station. tower = fortress. watch = ‘tsaw-faw''look out; referring to the act = keep outlook. unto: = or, in.And watch to see what He will say unto me = Habakkuk has raised two important questions with Yahweh, yet he asked both with a proper attitude2 The Righteous Shall Live by His Faith verse 2-5; Woes against BabylonWrite the vision = which I am about to reveal to thee. Reference to the Old Testament (Deut. 27:8). ‘And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.'The true sense is, “so legible that whoever readeth it, may run to tell all whom he can the good news of the foe's coming doom, and Judah's deliverance.”“Run” is equivalent to announce the divine revelation (Jerm. 23:21); as everyone who becomes informed of a divine message is bound to run, that is, use all dispatch to make it known to others.

Habakkuk 2. 5/18/25. An expositional sermon from the book of Habakkuk.
The Gospel is good news and God's power for our salvation. With that root and foundation we're able to live a life full of faith and righteousness. God's gift is not merely a promise of eternity with Him but an empowerment to live for Him here on Earth too. Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”Following Jesus and enjoying life are not opposite ends of the spectrum. Let's connect to learn more about how that can look in your own life.Let's connect on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn!
