2. Run the race with endurance
Look at the witnesses that preceded us
Be encouraged
Lay aside every encumbrance
And The sin that entangles us—doubt
FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS
The author and preeminent example of our faith
He endured the cross for the joy given Him
Despising the shame Mic. 5:2; John 5:30, 19:30
Sitting down at the right hand of GOD—done!

3. Don’t grow weary and lose heart
Consider Jesus—enduring the hostility of sinners Hebrews 10:32-33
Compare yourselves—you haven’t resisted sin to the point of shedding blood
Forgotten Godly discipline Proverbs 3:11-12
Sons
Don’t think lightly of the LORD’s discipline
Nor faint when reproved 2 Samuel 12:10

4. The LORD disciplines His loved ones
Every son received is scourged
What son is not disciplined?
Characteristics of discipline
Retribution (punishment) for sin
Prevention of sin (Limits & Boundaries)
Education (God’s power & provision)
How do we understand suffering? By faith
Romans 8:1
Endure because it’s the LORD’s discipline
It proves HIS love
It proves our Sonship

5. Discipline produces what?
God does it for our good
So we can share in HIS holiness
Rough when we are in the midst of it
Peace fruit of righteousness when done.
