...Christ Himself reigns, but we are to reign with Him from the heavenly Jerusalem above. This, of course, is the New Jerusalem, the Bride, the Lamb's wife of Rev. 19 and 21. It embraces all the heavenly saints, that is, all those who have died in faith throughout the centuries, all who in every dispensation believed God and were therefore quickened by His Spirit.

A. Ironside

Romans emphasizes "the just," Galatians deals with "Shall live," and Hebrews centers on "by faith." We are not just saved from our sin by faith, we must also live by faith. - Warren W. Wiersbe
