@Addy It's interesting that Hebrews 7.12 says the law was changed; and Hebrews 7.19 says that what we now have is better than the law.

Our Daily Bread is widely read, isn't it? :)

@Cachalot Great passage there; and 'the sin which doth so easily beset us' in verse 1 may in the context be unbelief, given that in the context it follows on from all the OT examples of what was done 'by faith', 'by faith', 'by faith'....does this seem to make sense?

@VictoryinJesus John's First Epistle is very searching...and one can see how the author of John's Gospel continues themes in the First Epistle.

Hi @Michiah-Imla It's interesting that in Hebrews 7.12 we see the law was changed and in Hebrews 7.19 what we now have is better than the law.

Hi @Addy Reminds me of Psalm 19.1: "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork."

@Mayflower Great verse...and with effective graphics also...

@Pisteuo: Romans 8 is such a tremendous chapter! :)

@VictoryinJesus I'm reminded of this passage in 1 Peter 2: "...Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but...

@Mayflower Interesting mediation there from Proverbs 31 ministries...

A verse which comes to mind is Psalm 22.1: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" "Behold! behold the Lamb of God, On the cross! On the cross! For us He shed His precious blood, On the cross! On the cross! O hear His all-important cry, “Eli, lama sabachthani?” Draw near and see the...

@TLHKAJ Like you say in the other thread recently, some ppl have been through some horrendous experiences. (Maybe in some cases some ppl's tattoos reflect this also.) If a Christian woman has a tattoo with the name of a non-Christian ex-bf's name (e.g., 'BILL'), she has various choices, such as...

@truthquest Great verses there!

I see what you mean; there is also the consideration of Isaiah 48.10 in post #1785, above.

@Mayflower Hebrews 11, from where the poster quote comes, is a tremendous chapter. I like also how the writer follows on at the beginning of chapter 12 with the exhortation to keep 'looking unto Jesus' (12.2).

Fellowship isn't really about church bureaucracy and denominations at all, but about walking in the light, both Godward and with one's fellow pilgrims...

@Ziggy Great verse there! :)

Well, thanks, @Addy ...
