Persevere in Faith

Hebrews 9-11 

“So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.”

Hebrews 10:35, 36

In the face of testing and suffering for our faith in Christ we can lose heart and throw away our confidence in Christ. We can slide back into old habits and self-centered living. Or, we can choose to persevere in the will of God. We can cry out to God for the grace and empowerment to persevere in the race of discipleship in mission we have been called to run. The example of faith as it was lived with perseverance in the Word of God encourages us to press on. We, too, must live for eternal reward and recognize both the cost of faith and the eternal inheritance. Living daily by faith in Christ is worth it! When we stand before God’s throne and give an account for our life, we will not regret our choice to live for the will of God by faith.

“Lord Jesus, your life of faith encourages and makes possible my life of faith. Thank you. For your glory…”
