Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.
Hebrews 12:1<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>

The word \u201ctherefore\u201d is a bridge that connects us back to the so-called \u201cHeroes of Faith\u201d in chapter 11. Name after name is given of men and women who pressed on by faith! They were not perfect, but they were persistent! What caused them to push forward despite the obstacles they faced? It was the Object set before them! The Object of their faith was greater than any obstacle they faced! Whether it is worship, walking with God, working for God, or obedience to His Word, the endurance and strength to carry on is found in the Object we are following.<\/p>

Since we are told that without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6), we might ask then, \u201cWhat is faith?\u201d We are told what faith does: \u201cNow faith is the substantiating of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen\u201d (Heb. 11:1 jnd<\/span>). This is more of a description of what faith does rather than what it is. Faith is unwavering confident obedience to God\u2019s Word in spite of our circumstances. It is the ability to rest in God, putting all our weight on Him!<\/p>

Christ is the foundation of our faith. Let us notice the word, \u201cconviction.\u201d When He is the object of our hearts, then we develop a conviction that He will keep His word! All of this is centered around and resting on Him as the Object of our hearts and souls. Those listed in chapter 11 act as witnesses, saying to each one of us, \u201cWe trusted Him; you can too!\u201d<\/p>

Anchor For Today:<\/strong>
You and I can lay aside every weight and sin and doubt and fear, and press on with our eyes fixed on the One who gave Himself for us on Calvary!<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
