Hebrews 6:12

PatienceFaithFollowing JesusWaiting on God

10 For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.

11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.

Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

13 When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,

14 saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.”
