We often struggle with not only knowing what we should be doing as Christians, but struggling with where we are and how far we need to go. A quick look at "the north star" will help everything.

"But what about..." is typically the response I get when I talk about being confident in our salvation, and generally they point to one of three passages in the book of Hebrews. We discuss those passages, truly understanding the argument for confidence in the case of most Christians.

We struggle with being confident in our salvation. But so many passages in the New Testament make it clear that this is exactly how we should feel and how we should understand our destiny.

In track 25 of the Mark Your Bible series, we learn about the urgency of obeying God now. We should not put off obeying God until some later time when it is good for us, because the only way that is good for us is to obey Him now.

When we realize that life is not about us, we should learn to keep our eyes on God and trust in Him for everything.

Instead of feasting on the Word of God, we often treat it like a snack. We should learn to have higher expectations of ourselves and our work in God's Word.

Before we decide what to believe, we must decide if we are willing to believe anything at all.

Seeing with eyes of faith open our hearts to truths that we cannot see unless we want to see them. Sometimes, we must see to believe. When it comes to faith, we must sometimes believe to see.

Putting God back on the throne of your life is essential to having the perspective that will make life more purposeful. God deserves His pedestal.

Bad things are going to happen, especially for God's people. This entire world is against us if we're truly living like Christ. But, those bad things have good results and we can take courage from such truths.
