Hebrews 11:16
Excerpted from: Confidence at Christ's AppearanceSo Old Testament scriptures show that Jesus Christ and Christians are brothers, and He is not ashamed to call us brothers. God is not ashamed to be called the God of the faithful saints.
Since they have such a high goal, that is, the saints—us—He is willing to speak of Himself as their God and friend. They acted as His friends should, and He is not ashamed of the relationship He has with them. God is never ashamed of anything He does or completes, and He is working on completing us today—the faithful act—in such a way that makes it appropriate for Him to treat us as our benefactor, protector, and friend.
Hebrews 11:16
Excerpted from: What Is the Work?The enticement to go back was always there for those people, but they were not mindful—their minds were not full—of "going back to the world." What did they do?
They kept their eyes on the true homeland that God had revealed to them. They had faith in that. Even though there were opportunities to deviate from the path, because of their general, overall faithfulness, God would forgive them. God would rescue them and put them back on the track once again.
