Hebrews 10: 35-39
Outline
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. Hebrews 10:36, NIV
Christians live in the world full of perversion and persecution. It takes perseverance for Christians to live above the perversion of the world and to remain focused in the face of persecution. The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews admonished Christians not to lose heart and confidence in God but to endure the persecution confronting them. He reiterated that the promise of God for them can only be fulfilled if they persevere in suffering for the sake of Christ. He holds that they can only live and obtain reward with God if they exercise faith in the face of their trials.
It is important that today’s Christian should know that perseverance is an essential virtue which we need in order to keep our faith in the face of challenges. When we learn to persevere, it will be difficult for any situation whatsoever to keep us away from the track. Also, in the face of all challenges, we must hold firm our faith so that we will not lose our reward in heaven. May we not fail God in the test of our faith as we move on in our Christian race.
