Our Faith In Action
July 1st, 2007 Posted in FaithI’ve been thinking a lot about Hebrews 12. The author writes, “let us run with perseverance.” That doesn’t sound like an motionless faith does it? Our faith as believers has to be ever growing. If our Christian life can be summed up by simply going once or twice a week to listen to a pastor teach then something is missing. We serve a living God who raised us from the dead. We weren’t raised from the dead to just be better people. No, we’ve been moved from the kingdom of darkness the kingdom of light. We are a holy nation and a royal priesthood. We are a brand new creation. Let us live as those redeemed from the dead!
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-3
