The heroes of the faith mentioned in Hebrews eleven make for an interesting study. I just can’t figure out why some of them are in there. You wouldn’t have them over for dinner or even desire their friendship if they were alive today. However, God loved them, chose them, and did a work through them.
I’m positive many look at me that way. The factor that they don’t understand in the grand scheme of things is that God loves sinners. He makes Himself known to them through the gospel and washes them by the blood of His Son.
Romans 3:24-26
being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Yes, there are a lot of characters in the family of God which cause us to scratch our heads. You might be one of them.
Give it some thought and thank Him for inviting you in.
Think about it.
