Hebrews 11:1
Faith is not a bare belief or intellectual understanding. It is a willingness to trust in, to rely on, and to cling to.
-Enduring Word
And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight. Women received their loved ones back again from death. 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.
Hebrews 11:
“Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me—nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
