In Hebrews 11, Paul gives the saints counsel and teaches them to do good and how we are sanctified by Christ our Savior.
I love to relate the scriptures to us in these days, so in verses 1-3, Paul tells us to let brotherly love continue, and to not be forgetful to entertain strangers, which means to be hospitable to them. He also urges us to have compassion on strangers and those "in bonds". We must all learn to better love and care for our brothers and sisters here on earth. We all need love and care.
Paul warns us of covetousness, and tells us to simply be content with the things that we have, because he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Paul is teaching us that Heavenly Father and Christ are completely trustworthy and are always there for us and always watch out for us.
We are sanctified as we bear Christ's reproach and offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, giving thanks to his name continually. Let us stand up for Christ and his gospel and always be grateful for the many blessing we have, both temporally and spiritually.
Paul ends by asking us to pray for them (Paul and the brethren). Let us pray for one another and for those that are in need. Prayer is a powerful tool Heavenly Father has blessed us with.
Have a great week!
