Title: Ultimate reward
Let us run with perseverance the race that has been marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c
Persevere, we have all had to do this in our lives, or have witnessed others do so, such as tackling a taxing project at work, facing a medical issue, or enduring some very long and grueling military training, like I did. For all the perseverance, the outcome was rewarding, most a short-lived reward, now a memory, or a plaque on the wall with medals for conversation.
What does the Bible say about the perseverance of faith? We find it in many of the scriptures, where God promises to inherit eternal life. When you think of what that really means and the reward is eternal, not short-lived, why is it still so hard? Jesus says in the scripture it is not easy but will be rewarding.
Real Men must persevere for the ultimate reward.
