What are we to do in this vale of tears as we ‘fight the good fight of faith’ as we run the race that is set before us with patience, as we lay aside every weight that so easily besets us so that we are not wearied and faint in our minds. The Scripture give us the pure and simple answer to that:
“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2)
Don’t you love the scripture?
About Eileen Beckett
Eileen Beckett Barnhart (19?? - September 15, 2015) was a faithful contributor to this website starting in 2004. She was a very special lady! She will be missed and we look forward to our reunion with her in Christ together on the new earth. Here are some of her favorite quotes: "Be a Berean."
"In the stead of sin and death, He giveth unto us righteousness and everlasting life; and by this means He changeth the bondage and terrors of the law into liberty of conscience and consolation of the gospel." - Martin Luther
"If any man doth ascribe of salvation, even the very least, to the free will of man, he knoweth nothing of grace, and he hath not learnt Jesus Christ aright." - Martin Luther
