Hebrews 11:1-3

hey
Hebrews 10:39
“But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and are saved.”
Faith Believes the Future Belongs to God.
Isa. 46:9-10
“I declare the end from the beginning, and from long ago what is not yet done, saying: my plan will take place, and I will do all my will.”
1 Corinthians 4:17-18
“Therefore, I urge you to imitate me. 17 This is why I have sent Timothy to you. He is my dearly loved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you about my ways in Christ Jesus, just as I teach everywhere in every church. 18 Now some are arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.”
Faith Does Not Mean Life is without Struggles
Hebrews 11:35-38
“…Other people were tortured, not accepting release so that they might gain a better resurrection. 36 Others experienced mockings and scourgings, as well as bonds and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they died by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, afflicted, and mistreated. 38 The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and on mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the ground.”
1 Peter 1:7
“You rejoice in this, even though now for a short time, if necessary, you suffer grief in various trials 7 so that the proven character of your faith—more valuable than gold which, though perishable, is refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; though not seeing him now, you believe in him, and you rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”
Faith is Acting on What You Claim to Believe
James 2
“What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can such faith save him?...faith, if it does not have works, is dead by itself.”
Genesis 6:6 says,
“The Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and he was deeply grieved.”
