33.How are the righteous to live?

By faith in the promises of God.

"The righteous shall live by faith" is an Old Testament expression repeated three times in the New Testament. The statement does not mean we are saved by assent to the facts of redemption. The statement means that the righteous live in humility before God at all times, trusting in Him for the conduct of their life rather than in their own wisdom and strength.

The righteous shall live by faith is referring to a way of living, not to belief in the statement of faith of a Christian organization nor to belief in the "finished work of Christ."
