3. They are resolute. Dan.1:8; 3:13-18
"These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned." Heb.11:13-15
One of my fathers in the faith once told us that "men that make impact on earth are not men that are "here and there" but men that are "here or there".
Men of exploits are men whose minds are made up and are set upon what they have come to believe. They are NEVER tossed here and there by every wind of doctrine or prevailing situation. Nothing changes there them or their minds, not even their weaknesses, past failures, successes, persecution, comfort, ostracism, status/position etc.
How resolute are you O comrade? Do you still look here and there for help instead of focusing on God? Do you doubt if salvation is gotten ONLY in Christ in this dispensation?
"Stop being carried away by all kinds of unusual teachings, for it is good that the heart be strengthened by grace, not by food laws that have never helped those who follow them." Heb.13:9
May our hearts be established with grace even unto the end.
Shalom.
