—Hebrews 10:35-11:3
by: Jerry Johnson.
True faith in Christ is similar to that exhibited by the Old Testament saints, as seen in the reference to Habakkuk 2:3-4 and the examples in Hebrews eleven. Faith is fixed on Christ and his appearing, not circumstances. Nothing causes its confidence to waver. Faith believes righteousness comes through believing in the promises of God. This verse was a spark for the Reformation. Faith also does not turn back in the face of suffering. This can be a challenge because we may not actually see the future in the present. How confident are you in the promises of God through Christ?
