The Reward Of Perserverance

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

"Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while, "He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not by pleased with him." But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved." (Hebrews 10:32-39)

I do lean toward the apostle Paul. Either he did write it or he had someone scribe it from a sermon. That's a guess. I learn so much from this book. It always teaches what the soul needs. May God Bless All Who Learn And Grow By It.
Thank you for your comment. And I was hoping that the 'new' look would bring the reader to the words of my blog, not to the bright pink color I had before.

8.I believe that tithing is not a part of God's new covenant, free will offerings are. And that doesn't mean just money.
