Your Faith Journey
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.—Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)
“Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”—Acts 2:36 NIV
In this verse, Peter proclaimed that Jesus is the Messiah and redeemed himself for betraying Jesus on the night of His trial. This powerful lesson of redemption remains true today for all of us. Even if you have strayed from a life of faith, or made a bad decision, your return to Him will be welcomed. God will forgive you.
Because of You, my Heavenly Father, my sins are forgiven and new mercies fall like manna from heaven.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.—Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.—Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
