The redeemed keep their eyes on Jesus . . .

Hebrews 12:2 (AMP) – “Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. [Ps 110:1.]”

2 Corinthians 1:20-22 (MSG) – “Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus, In him this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God’s Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident. God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us. By his Spirit he has stamped us with the eternal pledge—a sure beginning of what he is destined to complete.”

” . . . for God can be trusted to keep his promise.” Hebrews 10:23b (NLT)
