Hebrews 12:18-29 presents a picture of the glorious spiritual reality that belongs to God’s children. Brandt Barnard describes the foundation of the city whose designer and builder is God: its past awesome earthly glory, the present surpassing spiritual glory, and the believer’s participation in the kingdom of God by faith.
“So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight.”
