Heroes–Faithful to the End

Hebrews 11, which is often called the “Hall of Faith” chapter, wasn’t originally written as an individual chapter within Hebrews. According to Dr. Randy Norris, these powerful verses are part of a much larger picture that the author of Hebrews was painting. In light of the all the Savior has done for us (as esposed throughout Hebrews), what more fitting expression of praise and gratitude than to live our entire lives for Him? But as Randy points out so powerfully, that kind of determination requires total faith in Christ. Like those listed in the closing verses of chapter 11, we too may need to suffer and die for Jesus one day–but to accomplish that, we must first be living for him now each and every day.

It’s not enough to be willing to follow his commands, we should already be obeying him–no matter the cost.
