The writer to the Hebrews wrote chapter eleven to encourage us to hold fast to our faith. We noted that the folks who originally received this letter were going through a very difficult time. The writer exhorted them in Hebrews 10:35-36, “Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.” To show us it pays to trust the Lord and persist in our obedience to Him in the face of opposition, the writer gave us many examples of people through whom God had done great things by their faith.
Now we come to chapter 12 and to the application that flows from this example. In view of all these who have gone before us, how are we to live? The writer answers the question with two exhortations. We are to recognize that there is a race to run and a Savior to please. These then are the two divisions to our study.
