"let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us"
[Quotes don't count!]
Someone once asked how I came to faith.
"I learned about the old and new covenants."
I was taught about Hebrews and James.
"and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us"
Two things
There will be difficulties but persevere
The way is there just follow it
but there is action required of us, "to run"
More than run. We must "throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles," and run.
Abraham did it. Rahab did it. Two different races, same requirement to rise above and run!
"1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,..."
All that follows rest on verse 1 (Therefore, since...).
People are watching.
