Be Confident (Hebrews) Quotes

“God is shaking things so that you may learn to live by faith and not by sight. He wants you to build your life on the permanence of the eternal and not on the instability of the temporal.”
― Warren W. Wiersbe, Be Confident (Hebrews): Live by Faith, Not by Sight

“true biblical faith means obeying God in spite of circumstances and in spite of consequences.”
― Warren W. Wiersbe, Be Confident (Hebrews): Live by Faith, Not by Sight

“Faith is only as good as its object, and the object of our faith is God. Faith is not some “feeling” that we manufacture. It is our total response to what God has revealed in His Word (p. 144).”
― Warren W. Wiersbe, Be Confident (Hebrews): Live by Faith, Not by Sight

“God wants our hearts to be “established with grace” (Heb. 13: 9). That word established is used, in one form or another, eight times in Hebrews. It means “to be solidly grounded, to stand firm on your feet.” It carries the idea of strength, reliability, confirmation, permanence. This, I think, is the key message of Hebrews: “You can be secure while everything around you is falling apart!” We have a “kingdom which cannot be moved” (Heb. 12: 28). God’s Word is steadfast (Heb. 2: 2) and so is the hope we have in Him (Heb. 6: 19) (p. 23).”

“The believer who begins to drift from the Word (Heb. 2: 1–4) will soon start to doubt the Word (Heb. 3: 7—4: 13). Soon, he will become dull toward the Word (Heb. 5: 11—6: 20) and become “lazy” in his spiritual life. This will result in despising the Word, which is the theme of this exhortation (p. 136).”

“More spiritual problems are caused by neglect than perhaps by any other failure on our part. We neglect God’s Word, prayer, worship with God’s people (see Heb. 10: 25), and other opportunities for spiritual growth, and as a result, we start to drift. The anchor does not move; we do (p. 35).”
― Warren W. Wiersbe, Be Confident (Hebrews): Live by Faith, Not by Sight

“You would think that one sinner would have compassion for another sinner, but this is not always the case. Sin makes a person selfish. Sin can blind us to the hurts of others. Sin can harden our hearts and make us judgmental instead of sympathetic”
― Warren W. Wiersbe, Be Confident (Hebrews): Live by Faith, Not by Sight

“Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way” (Ps. 23:4 TLB). Jesus promised us that He would never leave us. He is always watching over us, and He knows exactly what’s going on in our lives.”
― Warren W. Wiersbe, Be Confident (Hebrews): Live by Faith, Not by Sight

“The emphasis in the epistle to the Hebrews is “Don’t live for what the world will promise you today! Live for what God has promised you in the future! Be a stranger and a pilgrim on this earth! Walk by faith, not by sight!”
― Warren W. Wiersbe, Be Confident (Hebrews): Live by Faith, Not by Sight

“Our purpose is to hear God speak in Jesus Christ, and to heed that Word. If our purpose is to know Christ better and exalt Him more, then whatever differences we may have in our understanding of the book will be forgotten in our worship of Him. —Warren W. Wiersbe”
