Today in Hebrews 12 we reflect on the “heroes of faith” that we read about in chapter 11. Discipline. Without it, it is impossible to live the life of a born-again Christian. If you’ve ever watched a foot race or a swimming competition, you’ll notice that the competitors who are serious, wear the lightest clothing, some even shave their hair. They are trying to reduce drag — anything that can slow them down.
For the life of a Christian, temptation to sin is all around us. If we sin, like a child who misbehaves, God disciplines us. We as believers have a purpose to follow God’s will for our lives. That’s our race. Paul talked about this in Philippians 3. Sin drags us down as we try to do what is right. It’s that guilty feeling in your heart that won’t go away.
Let’s see what the writer of Hebrews has to say about this…
If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then…
Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.
Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly…
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Jesus is coming back soon! Are you ready?
