Faith Affects Our Desire and Seeking Living as strangers and sojourners manifests seeking and desiring “another country” and “better” country (Heb. 11:14,16)

Faith Affects Our Desire and Seeking Living as strangers and sojourners manifests seeking and desiring “another country” and “better” country (Heb. 11:14,16) “Better” because: – It has foundations (Heb. 11:10) – Its architect and builder is God – It is heavenly – not of this earth (Heb. 11:16) – Prepared for us by God – He is not ashamed of those with such faith (Jn. 14:1-3)

Faith Affects Our Desire and Seeking Faith that sees the promise ahead – we continue to desire and seek “the better” – keeps us from falling back into the world (Matt. 6:19-21, I Pet. 1:1-3, Heb. 10:34, 39)
