It was because some women had faith that they received their dead back to life. Others chose to be beaten instead of being set free, because they would not turn against God. In this way, they would be raised to a better life.

It was because of their faith that God was pleased with them. But they did not receive what God had promised.

All these many people who have had faith in God are around us like a cloud. Let us put every thing out of our lives that keeps us from doing what we should. Let us keep running in the race that God has planned for us.

Let us keep looking to Jesus. Our faith comes from Him and He is the One Who makes it perfect. He did not give up when He had to suffer shame and die on a cross. He knew of the joy that would be His later. Now He is sitting at the right side of God.

You know these prove your faith. It helps you not to give up.

You must have faith as you ask Him. You must not doubt. Anyone who doubts is like a wave which is pushed around by the sea.

Listen, my dear Christian brothers, God has chosen those who are poor in the things of this world to be rich in faith. The holy nation of heaven is theirs. That is what God promised to those who love Him.

My Christian brothers, what good does it do if you say you have faith but do not do things that prove you have faith? Can that kind of faith save you from the punishment of sin?

A faith that does not do things is a dead faith.

Someone may say, "You have faith, and I do things. Prove to me you have faith when you are doing nothing. I will prove to you I have faith by doing things."

You foolish man! Do I have to prove to you that faith without doing things is of no use?

You see his faith working by what he did and his faith was made perfect by what he did.

A man becomes right with God by what he does and not by faith only.

The body is dead when there is no spirit in it. It is the same with faith. Faith is dead when nothing is done.

The prayer given in faith will heal the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

These tests have come to prove your faith and to show that it is good. Gold, which can be destroyed, is tested by fire. Your faith is worth much more than gold and it must be tested also. Then your faith will bring thanks and shining-greatness and honor to Jesus Christ when He comes again.

You will get what your faith is looking for, which is to be saved from the punishment of sin.

Because of Christ, you have put your trust in God. He raised Christ from the dead and gave Him great honor. So now your faith and hope are in God.

Dear friends, your faith is going to be tested as if it were going through fire. Do not be surprised at this.

Stand against him and be strong in your faith. Remember, other Christians over all the world are suffering the same as you are.
