Peterson preaches on the theme of endurance in the Christian life from Hebrews 12:1–3. The Christian life is compared to an athletic contest that requires training, self-discipline, and struggle. Endurance is a characteristic of true saving faith. As noted in the passage, there are certain hindrances to be avoided. Objects, desires, and activities often hinder the race. Unbelief or disobedience leads to hardness of heart and apostasy. In addition, pride proves to be a sin that easily entangles the Christian. Believers are encouraged by the examples of past and present witnesses of faithful obedience to God. Above all, Christians are urged to consider Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.
