Hebrews 10:39  But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

2 Timothy 1:7   For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline

We belong to God.  We are faithful followers of the Most High and Sovereign God.  We are entirely saved by His love and grace through Christ.  We are not ruled by sin which causes cowardice and destruction.  We are not deterred in our faith when we experience struggle. We are given God’s Spirit to strengthen our faith, embolden our courage, and empower our love. Be encouraged by God’s courage in you.  Be in love with our living God.  May our hearts believe the truth that we are God’s bold, courageous, and faithful children.
