Running the Race of Faith

In this powerful exploration of faith, we delve into Hebrews 11, the 'great chapter of faith.' We're reminded that faith isn't about our own greatness, but about trusting in God's promises. The stories of Abraham and Moses show us that even biblical heroes had flaws, yet their faith was counted as righteousness. This teaches us that our faith isn't measured by our perfection, but by our trust in God's faithfulness. We're encouraged to embrace our identity in Christ, holding onto truths like 'You are a saint' and 'You are accepted by Christ.' As we face life's challenges, we're called to run our race with endurance, drawing strength not from ourselves, but from Jesus who has already endured it all for us. This message invites us to lean into God's promises, even when we can't see the outcome, knowing that our faith is the 'assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.'
