David, of the David's Daily Dose blog, and I were chatting around two pieces of scripture we had commented on.

One was Romans 5 and the other Hebrews 12 and how they link together and he challenged me to write something on these two, so here it is!

Hebrews 12:1-2 (New Living Translation)
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honour beside God’s throne.

and

Romans 5:3-5 (New Living Translation)
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

So run the race, and keep your eye on the prize!
Just a thought…
