Faith – A Spiritual Preservative

I found verse thirty-nine a wonderful reminder of the power of our faith. While most translations render the verse – “whose souls will be saved“, the NET version translates it like this: “But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith ‘and preserve their souls.’ “ I love this! It means the same thing, of course, as the other translations but it jumped off the page at me with the emphasis of faith’s longevity. Faith is a spiritual preservative – so powerful of a preservative – it will never expire.
