It's impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares e

HEB. 9-13

Practically everything in a will hinges on a death. That's why blood, the evidence of death, is used so much in our tradition, especially regarding forgiveness of sins.

22-25So let's do it—full of belief, confident that we're presentable inside and out. Let's keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let's see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.

HELP ME TO TRUST YOU ALL THE WAY:

But anyone who is right with me thrives on loyal trust; if he cuts and runs, I won't be very happy.But we're not quitters who lose out. Oh, no! We'll stay with it and survive, trusting all the way.

It's impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him.


14-17Work at getting along with each other and with God. Otherwise you'll never get so much as a glimpse of God.

28-29Do you see what we've got? An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander. He's actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to burn, and he won't quit until it's all cleansed. God himself is Fire!

5-6Don't be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, "I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you," we can boldly quote, God is there, ready to help; I'm fearless no matter what. Who or what can get to me?

The grace of Christ is the only good ground for life.

16Make sure you don't take things for granted and go slack in working for the common good; share what you have with others. God takes particular pleasure in acts of worship—a different kind of "sacrifice"—that take place in kitchen and workplace and on the streets.

Relax, everything's going to be all right; rest, everything's coming together; open your hearts, love is on the way!
they are just singing, it is my joy to honor you! can i say that or proclaim boldly, you are my king or amazing love, it's my joy to worship you, amazing love that my king would die for me!

20-21But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God's love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life!

22-23Go easy on those who hesitate in the faith.

DON'T LET ME HESITATE IN THE FAITH
