“Our sin are not removed from us, but removed from God's sight and His judgment, because He sees the righteousness of the passover lamb, Christ, which abolishes our deserved judgment from our sins.”

Romans 1:17 For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."{Habakkuk 2:4}

Romans 3:25 whom God set forth to be an atoning sacrifice{or, a propitiation}, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God's forbearance;
Romans 3:28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

Ephesians 2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.

Facts: A common myth once held that albatrosses could fly for years at a time, eating and drinking and mating on the wing, landing only to lay their eggs. Modern science does not support this old wives’ tale, but the verifiable truth about avian flight behavior is almost as impressive. The Gray-headed Albatross can circle the globe in only 46 days, making numerous pit stops along the way. And rather than the albatross, it’s the Alpine Swift that holds the record for the longest recorded uninterrupted flight by a bird: One logged more than 200 days in the air as it hunted flying insects on its wintering range in the skies over West Africa.

Rattenborg and his team found it relatively easy to capture 15 of the birds to implant electroencephalographs (EEGs) into their skulls. Because EEGs measure electrical activity in the brain, the researchers were able to tell when the birds were awake or asleep. An implanted accelerometer clued them into how fast and in what direction the animals flew.

The discovery that birds do in fact sleep on the wing, even if only in short, infrequent bursts, confirms a long-standing scientific theory about avian biology. It also adds to the growing literature about the necessity and nature of sleep in general, even in humans. A few years ago, Rattenborg discovered that Pectoral Sandpipers can survive and even thrive for weeks with very little sleep, and his decades-old finding about Mallard Ducks' half-brained sleeping patterns inspired research about why people sleep poorly in hotels and other unfamiliar places—because one side of our vigilant brain stays a little awake to keep watch.
