Let us not stay away from church meetings. Some people are doing this all the time. Comfort each other as you see the day of His return coming near.

Now faith is being sure we will get what we hope for. It is being sure of what we cannot see.

Be at peace with all men. Live a holy life. No one will see the Lord without having that kind of life.

You have never seen Him but you love Him. You cannot see Him now but you are putting your trust in Him. And you have joy so great that words cannot tell about it.

The Holy Writings say, "See, I lay down in Jerusalem a Stone of great worth, worth far more than any amount of money. Anyone who puts his trust in Him will not be ashamed."

They will see how you love God and how your lives are pure.

Keep your heart telling you that you have done what is right. If men speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see the good way you have lived as a Christian.

But if you do not have these things, you are blind and cannot see far. You forget God saved you from your old life of sin.
