Be encouraged that this world persecutes and hates you because you believe in Jesus Christ. Be encouraged that the Lord disciplines His own children, those He loves.

The Bible talks about how Christians should run the race. So what is this race? And how are we, as Christians, supposed to run it? The author of the book of Hebrews gives us insight into answering theses questions. Thanks for watching.

The author of Hebrews explains that circumstances and their outcomes don't determine our faith. Our faith remains steadfast no matter the outcomes. The men and women mentioned in this chapter either overcame their circumstances or went through it and suffered. Many false teachers in the church today proclaim "prosperity" which is good health, money, and success, and if you don't have these things it is because you do not have enough faith or that you sinned. These verses in chapter 11 "put to bed" all those false teachings and show that men and women of faith may endure sufferings and even death if the Lord so chooses. Thank you for watching and continue to grow in God's word.

The author writes to these believing Hebrews that there is a natural response to the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. How should you and I live our lives, everyday, as "Christians?" Our response is a choice that we make that comes from a heart of love and gratitude not servitude.

All those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are sanctified through the finished work on the cross. That road is forever paved for us, we need to choose, everyday, to walk on it and glorify the Lord through our lives and choices. You see, that road will never fade or change but our paths can.
