Hab 2:3-4, Rom 1:17, Gal 3:11, Jn 20:31, 1 Jn 5:1, Jn 3:16
We must believe to the end that Jesus is the Christ. We must believe that Jesus is the Christ to live. (Heb 10:38, Hab 2:3-4, Rom 1:17, Gal 3:11)
Heb 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Hab 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
When we believe that Jesus is the Christ, we have life and become children of God. (Jn 20:31, 1 Jn 5:1, Jn 3:16)
Jn 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
1 Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
Jn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
