ABC’s Of Faith

Faith is ACTING on your BELIEFS in CONFIDENT.

 

Hebrews 10:36 - Patient endurance is what you need if, after doing God’s will, you are to receive what he has promised.

Hebrews 12:1 - Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd 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. [2] We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.
