Day 283 – October 10, 2021
Scriptures: Jeremiah 34-35, Hebrews 10 “But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.” (Hebrews 10:39, NIV) Jeremiah is dealing with those whose faith has certainly slipped. The need for perpetual forgiveness because of sin is forever and ever. People continually fall short in their faith. We are far enough along in Jeremiah to know that all have sinned and all fall short of God’s glory. The Hebrews author begins piecing his argument together. They need encouragement. Many are falling away from the faith or are discouraged by the persecution that they were facing. Some were neglecting meeting together and enduring all sorts of trials. Yet the preacher reminds them, “We do not belong to those who shrink back.” We are the redeemed and saved. Whatever discouragement you might be facing, whether the result of your sin or the sin of others. Let us come to Christ for encouragement and strength. Do not shrink back, grow in your faith and love. Jordan
