Hebrews 11:13 NLT
All these people
died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was
promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that
they were foreigners and nomads here on earth.
IF THOSE WHO WE
THINK RECEIVED THEIR REWARD DID NOT ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE REWARD? IT MEANS THE
REWARDS WAS NOT IN THE THINGS RECEIVED BUT NOT YET RECEIVED. WHAT THEN IS THE
REWARD THEY DID NOT RECEIVED?
Hebrews 11:15-16 NLT
If they had longed
for the country they came from, they could have gone back. [16] But they were
looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed
to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
Why does it seems
our faith is failing nowadays?
The promise of God does not have anything to do with our physical or humanity
need.
Romans 1:2 NLT
God promised this
Good News long ago through his prophets in the holy Scriptures.
God promised us his
good news that will save us from the woes of the enemy. God has made many
effort to destroy the earth we are in currently.
The time of Noah,
The time of Egyptians. The story of Job.
Romans 1:3-4 NLT
The Good News is
about his Son. In his earthly life he was born into King David's family line,
[4] and he was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by
the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.
It does not mean we
will not have a need as human we will surely do. But what outweighs what?
Romans 1:9 NLT
God knows how often
I pray for you. Day and night I bring you and your needs in prayer to God, whom
I serve with all my heart by spreading the Good News about his Son.
Romans
1:17 NLT
This
Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished
from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, "It is through faith
that a righteous person has life."
Romans
1:21 NLT
Yes,
they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks.
And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result,
their minds became dark and confused.
Romans
1:24-25 NLT
So
God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a
result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies. [25] They
traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things
God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise!
Amen.
