In this lecture we learned that Hebrews was written to people who were tempted to abandon their new faith in Christ. Have you ever been tempted to give up your faith in Christ? What helped sustain your faith at that time?

I have to say that I have never been tempted to give up my faith, but I have questioned God about a few things.

Yes, but my fallback Scriptures are always from Job 38:4-18, “Where were you…”
I wasn’t there in the beginning. I have never commanded the morning and caused the dawn to know its place. I have never heard the morning stars sing together or heard the sons of God shout for joy. The gates of hell have never been revealed to me nor have I ever seen the gates of deep darkness. I don’t pretend to understand the expanse of the earth.
But I do know the One who was there. When I lose my way, I remind myself that the One who was there chose me.

I have not been tempted to leave my faith in Christ since becoming re-born a year ago, although I have suffered through some times of “dwindling” fire in my soul. I feel that if I just continue diligent study of Scripture, I can regain the hot fire that I so thirst for after a certain period.

I have struggled with my faith, but I always fall back on one of my favorite pieces of Scripture
Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. -
Ive given up my faith as it was merely a religious activity – Coming to faith in Christ and receiving the Holy Spirit changed everything with an understanding that it’s not about works but our faith in Christ.
