"But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul."

I love how you describe God's people before you say "the faith Hall of Fame" (Hebrews 11). When you look at God's people through the years, you don't see a bunch of weaklings, whiners, and cowards. They do have bad times, that's true. But overall, they are not the people who gave up on their quest. They are the people whose faith has stood the test of time and found salvation through God's great victory. This verse makes me happy because the Holy Spirit doesn't say, "We can be those who don't back down." Instead, He says that He has faith in us, our patience, and our loyalty. We're not "shrinkers," we're believers!
