Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. (2 Corinthians 5:11)
Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. (Hebrews 6:17-19)
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained accesss by faith into this grace in which we now stand. (Romans 5:1)
These particular Scriptures remind us that our faith provides us with an eternal heavenly home, great hope and encouragement, peace with God, and Christ's grace. Other Scriptures add to the long list of things God has given us through our faith. We are indeed greatly blessed because of our faith!
