In the midst of the difficulties of the Christian walk, the just shall live by faith; and if anyone draws back, God will have no pleasure in him. “But,” says the author, placing himself as ever in the midst of the believers, “we are not of them who draw back, but of them that believe unto the saving of the soul.” Thereupon he describes the action of this faith (Hebrews 10 by J.N. Darby)

(Hebrews 10 by J.N. Darby)
