Audio:Series:Hebrews: Persevering Faith in the Superior Christ

God has spoken supremely in His Son. Are you listening?

The Superior Christ, who demands our careful attention, was made human like us. By triumphing over Satan and death, He can help us who are tempted.

We must fix our eyes on Jesus, who is superior to Moses. The believing heart will hold firmly to Christ till the end.

God has promised His rest- spiritual blessing and eternal salvation- to those who combine hearing with faith.

Because Jesus our High Priest was tempted in every way as we are, He can help us in our weakness as we boldly approach the throne of grace.

All followers of Jesus have been called to progress on to spiritual maturity.

Perseverance gives the genuine believer sure hope, but no such assurance can be given to those who do not continue in the faith.

God has covenanted with Himself to give us eternal salvation – the hope and anchor of our souls through good times and bad.

Through His once-for-all-time sacrifice, Jesus has initiated a new covenant that has made us clean, holy and free of all guilt for sin forever.

Since we have full access to Heaven through our great High Priest, let us continue strong in faith.

Faith—settled confidence in what God has declared and promised—greatly pleases God, and He delights to reward those who earnestly seek Him.

The lives of faithful men and women teach us that faith is a journey filled with both joy and grief, security and danger, “success” and “failure,” long life and martyrdom. We will not receive the full measure of our faith’s reward until the end of the age.

If we are to successfully complete the long distance race of the Christian life, we must set aside any hindrances or entangling sins and keep our eyes focused on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.

We can be encouraged through hardship and discipline because it proves God’s love for us as He works for our good.

Genuine faith perseveres and progresses, but those who turn away from the call of God will be rejected forever.

Persevering faith is an obedient faith that progresses in righteous living.
