Heb.6:19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil.

Why is real faith so difficult? Why, in this instant, those who were closes to Christ while he lived on the earth needed constant reminders of walking in faith, standing in faith? Will, the truth is there are millions of lesser faith's people confuse with real faith each day. These lesser faith may all profess faith in God and Christ but they all hold one common denominator, do you know what that is?

Luke.18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

That denominator is sight worship, and this is the problem the newly formed spiritual nation of Israel was dealing with just as the physical nation of Israel dealt with in clamoring for a physical king over them instead of YHWH. Nothing new under the sun when it comes to the desires of the sinful flesh. Within a few short years the entire congregation of God's anointed would succumb to weed Christianity being over-sown by false Christian's building massive institutions of worship so they no longer had to walk by faith, in the unseen Christ.

John 5:41 I don't receive glory from men.

John 5:44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don't seek the glory that comes from the only God?

This state of a counterfeit yeast kingdom of God would exist until the end of our own world expressing in the most serious terms the power of the sinful flesh in walking by sight and than deceiving itself into believing it has real faith. Fleshly minded Christian's must have mans approval through some sort of visible approval committee without it they have no real faith in God. Those whom are of the same nature fleshly love the power and attention robing themselves in garb of great understanding and holiness happily taking such positions.

Luke 4:6 The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.

Mark 10:37 They said to him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory."

The Jew's were sight worshiper they idolized their temple above God and the reason for the temple; powerful groups controlled the temple and it was politics as usual. The same is true of all of Satan unrighteous kingdom's rather they be found in people controlling others lives, a religion, business or government they all have a common denominator worship of power found in men hiding behind position in giving men/woman approval. A Christian's approval does not come from man they can encourage us, but they cannot approve our faith or our standing with God. These Christian's were once again clamor for man's approval, as the old flesh does, but it is the Spirit that is truth the seal of God's approval requiring faith in his promises that accounted them righteous with God. Such strong encouragement to stay in faith not going back to works of law through some earthly representatives was the key.

Matthew 6:2 Therefore when you do merciful deeds, don't sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

2 Timothy 1:13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
