We all have a race to run, a separate course set before us by Jesus Christ . We are not in a race against each other. We are not in competition with each other. The race has been set before each of us according to our own abilities. Since we are in a race, lets run to win!' Key points to remember are:
drop the excess baggage
avoid the snares of sin that will entrap you
keep your eyes fixed on Jesus
resist sin (12:4)
learn to endure the chastening by God since you are now His children
pursue peace with all people
pursue Holiness
deal with your bitterness the right way
watch out for spiritual complacency
we need to obey
embrace grace
let God be God
Chastening is not punishment it is God’s way of correcting our race. It is proof of God’s love for us, proof that we are God’s sons and daughters and proof that we are destined for Holiness.
