Hebrews 10:38
But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.

For those who are righteous, the principle in their life is faith, instead of pride that looks to self. True faith looks outside of self unto the LORD God, while pride always look to self.

We are called to live by faith and nothing else. Some Christians live by devotions, some by works, some by feelings, some by circumstances and so on. Each of these is meaningless and perhaps dangerous without faith. God is not pleased if we shrink back.

Application

Read and meditate on Hebrews chapter 11.
