Living Our Life By Faith

 The burden of Hebrews is to keep on Living Our Life By Faith, and its target audience is not the unsaved, but believers who are encouraged to persevere despite the temptations and trials we inevitably face. Because we were justified by faith, we are to keep on walking by faith.
 Three times, New Testament writers use quotes from Habakkuk; expressing the importance of God's righteous saints living by faith, emphasizing the importance God places on the justified man or woman living their life by faith, and continuing, day-by-day, to live a life of faith and not to draw back into an unbelief or fear. 
 The main thrust of Hebrews is for Christians to persevere in the Christian life and to 'keep on keeping on' to the very end.
 We are justified by faith, and now we are to live a sanctified life by faith, as this verse tells us:
And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we know that without faith it is impossible to please You. Help us to live each day of our lives in the light of Your love and not to draw back through unbelief or fear. Help us to know, reckon, appropriate, and live the victorious lives which are already ours in Christ. May our faith be pleasing to You, and may we glorify You in all we say and do. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
