Scriptures Weekly 22 - Keeping the Faith

Do you fear or doubt your salvation? Or have difficulties trusting God fully to help work things out in your life? We all do at times and it’s easy to allow our faith to weaken and wander. Satan works night and day on people to fill them with these crippling states of mind. Faith in God produces the opposite of fear and doubt. Hebrews chapter 11 in the New Testament demonstrates great faith among many of Gods servants from Noah spending 120 years building a big boat, to Jesus by faith submitting to the Fathers will even "unto death on a cross" for us!

Hebrews 11:3,

"By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible."

Hebrews 11:17,

"By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son,"

Hebrews 11:29,

By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned."

The Good News - Hebrews 12:1-2,

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfector of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."

Keep the faith!
