Rooted in Habakkuk 2:4, a verse frequently quoted by the Apostle Paul, Owen explores how faith is not only the means by which believers are justified but also the very foundation of endurance in the Christian life.
根植于哈巴谷书2:4这节经文——使徒保罗经常引用的经文，欧文探讨了信心不仅是信徒称义的途径，也是基督徒生活中忍耐的根基。
Unlike mere intellectual assent, Owen presents faith as a living, active trust in God, which sustains believers amid the trials of life, including public calamities, personal afflictions, and even the threat of persecution.
与单纯的理智同意不同，欧文将信心呈现为对上帝活泼、积极的信靠，这信靠在生活的试炼中支撑信徒，包括公共灾难、个人苦难，甚至逼迫的威胁。
One of the most compelling aspects of Owen’s work is his ability to apply faith to real-world struggles.
欧文作品最引人注目的方面之一是他将信心应用于现实世界挣扎的能力。
He speaks with remarkable prophetic insight about the challenges facing Christians, whether under government oppression, false religion, or a general decline in true godliness.
他以非凡的先知洞察力谈到基督徒面临的挑战，无论是在政府压迫、虚假宗教，还是真正敬虔的普遍衰退之下。
In particular, he warns against the return of popery (Roman Catholicism) in his era and urges believers to hold fast to the Gospel with unwavering faith.
特别是，他警告在他的时代教皇制（罗马天主教）的回归，并敦促信徒以不动摇的信心持守福音。
His analysis of spiritual decay in churches—the loss of zeal, love, and commitment to biblical truth—feels remarkably relevant today, as many churches face similar struggles with worldliness and compromise.
他对教会属灵衰败的分析——热心、爱心和对圣经真理委身的丧失——在今天感觉格外相关，因为许多教会面临着与世俗化和妥协的类似挣扎。
Owen does not leave his readers in despair but exhorts them to live by faith as their primary means of perseverance.
欧文没有让他的读者陷入绝望，而是劝勉他们因信而活，作为他们坚忍的主要方法。
He argues that faith in Christ will strengthen the soul to endure reproach, to resist the pressures of conforming to false religion, and to maintain confidence in God’s sovereignty, even when divine judgment seems imminent.
他论证说，对基督的信心将坚固灵魂来忍受责备，抵抗顺从虚假宗教的压力，并保持对上帝主权的信心，即使在神圣审判似乎迫在眉睫的时候。
He draws upon biblical examples—Noah, Moses, and the saints of old—to demonstrate how true believers have always lived by faith, not by sight, trusting in God’s promises despite the opposition of the world.
他引用圣经的例子——挪亚、摩西和古时的圣徒——来显明真正的信徒如何总是因信而活，不是因眼见，尽管世界的反对，仍信靠上帝的应许。
For modern readers, The Just Shall Live by His Faith is an urgent call to steadfastness.
对于现代读者来说，《义人必因信得生》是对坚定不移的紧迫呼召。
It challenges believers to look beyond temporary trials and fix their eyes on Christ, the author and finisher of faith.
它挑战信徒超越暂时的试炼，定睛在基督身上，祂是信心的创始成终者。
Owen’s work is profound, pastoral, and deeply relevant, making it an essential read for anyone seeking to strengthen their faith amid the uncertainties of life.
欧文的作品深刻、富有牧养关怀且深度相关，使其成为任何在生活的不确定性中寻求坚固信心之人的必读之作。
Whether facing personal suffering, societal upheaval, or the encroachment of false teachings, this book is a timely reminder that true believers must anchor their lives in the unshakable foundation of Christ’s righteousness.
无论面临个人苦难、社会动荡，还是虚假教导的侵蚀，这本书都是一个及时的提醒，真正的信徒必须将他们的生命锚定在基督义的不可动摇的根基上。
