*~ Embracing And Promise ~* (468 hits)

Hebrews 11 Records Glorious Victories Of Faithfs

Champions Yet Here Speaks Of Those Who Died

gNot Having Received The Promises.h

Still, They Died In Faith Just As They Had Lived In Faith.
The Key To Understanding This Admirable Group Is That

When Given A Promise By God, They Became Fully

Persuaded That The Promise Was True.

Thou They Embraced { Literally gGreetedh} That Promise

In Their Hearts.



They Also Confessed { Admitted And Acknowledged } That

The Focus Of Their Lives Was Beyond Anything They Could

See In This World, That They Were Strangers And Pilgrims

Here.



Thus, While Each Of These Persons Did Receive Many

Victories Through Faith, The Text Says That They Did Not

Receive Everything That Was Promise.

But Whether Or Not They Received What They Asked And

Hoped For Did Not Change Their Behavior Nor Their Steadfast

Trust In GOD.



For Us As Well, Faithfs Worship And Walk Do Not Depend On

Answered Or Unanswered Prayers.



Our Confession Of The Lordship Of Jesus In Our Lives Is To

Be Consistent - A Daily Celebration, With Deep Gratitude.

@

Having Seen { The Promises } Afar Off { They } Were Assured

Of Them, Embraced Them And Confessed That They Were

Strangers And Pilgrims On The Earth.
