Not by Sight

We must stay in faith even unto death because, there is a greater promise of eternal life through Christ Jesus.
Many righteous men and women of God were faithful through hard times, trials because they knew they were only here for a short time. There was no promise of eternal life they had to follow the law, to obtain eternal life.
These people of faith had no desire to return to where they came from. They had their eyes on what God had promised them. They stepped out in faith.
They anticipated eternal life in heaven with God the father. The gift given to us through Jesus when he was crucified for our sins.
Abraham's faith was so strong in the Lord that he was willing to sacrifice a son he had prayed for, for years.
Because Abraham trusted God he was not afraid to follow his instruction, even to the point of
sacrificing his only son.
Abraham knew that God could raise Isaac from the dead. The belief that all things could be done with God was clear to Abraham.
When we are obedient to God and live righteously, love one another, God blesses us. We must praise God , pray, read the Bible and tithe.
We must worship the Lord for he blesses us exceedingly and abundantly.
Joseph went through being sold by his brothers and being put in prison for a crime he did not commit. He stayed faithful even when things looked impossible. We must stay faithful in times of trouble.
When we have faith in God we should not be afraid to do what we know is right.
When you have faith you can come out of your comfort zone and do great things.
We must realize we are here on earth, only for a season. When we confess the Lord Jesus Christ as our savior and believe he died for our sins, then we can have eternal life. We must not live in sin.
Moses believed that being dishonored because of Christ was better than the riches of Egypt. Being rewarded for obeying the Lord is greater than having earthly riches.
We must forsake the world because we live for Christ, we must live in the spirit and be delivered.
Today we are still to give our first fruits to the Lord. The first tenth of our earnings should be given to the work of the Lord through tithing.
When God gives you something to do he will give you what you need to do it.
Anyone can be used by the Lord and redeemed for, when we bless Israel, God blesses us.
Throughout the Bible and time God has sent his message through faithful believers. We must faithfully believe.
With God all things are possible. God uses circumstances and people that in our eyes are unlikely to fulfill His will.
The spirit of God comes into believes and they are able to do what may seem to be impossible, to those who don't believe.
Many were persecuted because of their belief in Jesus Christ. When you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior the enemy wants to keep you from the promises God has made to believers. Eternal life being the ultimate promise.
Many were beaten and put into prison for teaching and preaching in the name of Jesus Christ. These things did not deter them, for they knew they were following God and leading the lost to salvation.
God promises believers they will be blessed. The Holy Spirit will dwell within them, they will have eternal life in heaven, as believers we are heirs of Abraham.
These men and women of great faith could not dwell among the heathens. Sin and idolatry were prevalent, it was hard for believers. In today's world some believers have difficulties living among those who do not believe.
Although these men and women of good faith were persecuted for their belief in Christ, they still believed in a better country. That country being heaven in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We will all be brought up into heaven. When Jesus comes the dead  in Christ shall rise up, then we that are alive will be caught up. Being in heaven with God makes us prefect.
