Scripture never portrays the Christian life as easy. Instead, it describes it with images of warfare, struggle, and endurance—like running a long and demanding race.

In Hebrews 12:1–2, we are called to run that race with perseverance, laying aside every weight that hinders us and fixing our eyes firmly on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
