Abstract

Habakkuk 2:4 conveys the contrast between the life of a proud person עפל (`aphal) or a person with all pride and dishonesty contrasted with a righteous person דִּיק ( tsaddiq ) who lives with faithfulness. Habakkuk has given an understanding that each person has a personal relationship with God and must live in loyalty to Him. People who are arrogant depend on human strength and abilities, while righteous people live by relying on faith in God. This verse quoted by Paul (Rom. 1:17, Gal. 3:11) and the book of Hebrews (Heb. 10:38). This section provides teaching about the importance of living with loyalty to God and relying on Him in every aspect of life and the implications in Biblical Counselling.
