Over the coming months and through our study of the book of Hebrews, we aim to meditate frequently on the glory of Jesus Christ. May our souls be revived by a constant view of his glory - in this book which invites us to consider Christ Jesus, the exalted Savior of weary pilgrims like us. This week we look to Hebrews 11:1-7.

“Whether our acts are immoral, like stealing and lying and adultery, or whether our acts are moral like church attendance and community service, both may be abominable in God’s eyes if the heart is not right… The inner beauty of hoping in God, of trusting him for help and guidance, makes the eternal act beautiful. And if this faith is not here motivating the act the act is not pleasing to the Lord, it is sin.” - John Piper
