Decided to search for some answers to my book of questions. What better book to look to than the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth?

Hebrews 11: 1

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

and verse 6

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who come to Him must believen the He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

Hebrews 13:5,6

"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you"

So we say with confidence,

"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?"

James 1:2 -4

Consider it pure JOY, my brothers, whever you face traisl of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

and 12

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will recieve the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

1 Peter 1:6 - 9

In this you greatly REJOICE, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith - of greater worth of gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved gneuine and may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious JOY, for you are receiving the goal of your FAITH, the salvation of your souls.

5:9

Resist him, standing firm in the FAITH.

5:10, 11

And the God of all GRACE, who called you to his seternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To Him be the pover for ever and ever. Amen.

Just a few.
