"A Better Country - (A Heavenly One")

All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from afar, admitting they were foreigners and strangers on earth. Hebrews 11:13

This world is not our home.  We cannot live here forever (see 1 Peter 1:1). We shouldn’t be attached to this world’s desires and possessions and cannot move out of God’s command.

These people, of faith, died without receiving all that God had promised, but they never lost their vision of heaven (“a better country – a heavenly one”). 

Many Christians become frustrated and defeated because their needs, wants expectations and demands are not immediately met when they believe in Christ. They become impatient and want to quit. Take courage from these heroes of faith who lived and died without seeing the fruit of their faith on earth and yet continued to believe (see 11:36-39)

This world is not our home we cannot live here forever!
