31.What aspect of character did the Hebrew Christians have need of?

Patient endurance.

We receive what God has promised after we have done His will. The concept of patient waiting holds true throughout our discipleship. God may promise us many things: healing, a better job, a specific ministry, a child. However, we do not know what lies between the present hour and the fulfillment of the promise. Our task is to keep on performing God’s will to the best of our ability, knowing that what God has stated He will do. God is faithful. The answer may not come for many years. But it shall come. God is faithful.

We make a mistake when we try to force the answer or when we try to imagine how the promise will be fulfilled. It is better to let God fulfill His Word in His time and in His way. God speaks in parables. Many times the fulfillment is different from what we had supposed.
