'Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about the things we cannot see'
Our faith is a confidence and an assurance, they are very stong and powerful words but we HAVE to be confident and assured of what God has done for us, that He is our creator and redeemer! It goes on to list a whole load of people in the bible who acted out of faith and changed a situation, person or nation around! Lets get out there and start exercising our faith! Only then will really start to see God move in powerful ways!
'But others were tortured, refusing to turn from God in order to be set free. They placed their hope in a better life after the resurrection,'
Would I refuse to deny God? Are we prepared to suffer for our faith?
'Therefore since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us'
Awesome verse!
'Since we are recieving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshipping Him with holy fear and awe.'
Right so firstly God's kingdom is completely unshakable, nothing can stand against it!!! So we already have the victory, we've won, we are recieving that Kingdom! So let's be grateful and rejoice! How exciting is that.
I also think this tells us something once more about how we worship and come into the presence of God, it is with awe and holy fear!!
