Life is Hard, God is Good
Hebrews 12 | Endurance
Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see. Hebrews 11 is the “great faith” chapter that goes through examples in the Bible of people who had faith in our faithful God despite their seen circumstances.
Faith is awesome - It’s trusting in the invisible even when the visible circumstances don’t make sense.
However, we as believers also need ENDURANCE as we walk this life with Jesus or as we run this race.
In light of those who have endured before us - fellow God-followers such as Abel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses - we know that we can endure.
In light of what Jesus Himself endured - living a sinless human life and dying on the cross and coming to life on the third day - we know that we can endure.
Even when life is hard, we know He has endured - so we can endure.
What do we endure though? As Christians, unfortunately sometimes we think having faith makes life easy.
That is so far from the truth.
We have Him as our Prince of Peace and the Almighty God can deliver us from slavery to sin, but we know that in this life we will face hardships. That’s a promise.
However, how often do we actually struggle against sin?
Do we more often struggle with His discipline, forgetting that He is a good Father who loves us?
