“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Heb. 12:2).
When you receive the Lord Jesus as your personal saviour, He lives His life through you, but that doesn’t mean you don’t bring every area of your life under discipline, or under the will, plan, and purposes of God. We are to lay these things aside but sometimes it’s not that easy to do. We must rely on God and trust in Him. That’s why you must stay in the will of God. What does God say about this? How did He work in other peoples’ lives in the Old Testament? How did God give them victory? How does He work in other peoples’ lives now? So, there are things that we are to bring under discipline in our lives in order to live fulfilled lives.
Now notice Hebrews 12: 2; “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Running with endurance means there will be hardships, trials, difficulties, adversity and suffering. This means you must be steadfast, strong and willing to stand against all kinds of opposition and all things that will hinder your Christian walk. And so, the Bible says let’s run with endurance!
