Hebrews 6:12

Do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.  

Sometimes we all need encouragement in the faith.  Just like this verse is doing by telling us not to give up on the faith.  Especially if we don’t seem to be making progress, we might not be as diligent.  We need to keep going learning patience and from other Christians to inherit the promises of God.
