Standing Firm To The End

Heb. 10:19-25

The Bible, in Eccl. 7:8, says that the end of a matter is better than the beginning. While the beginning of the Christian race is very important and indeed very commendable, the reward does not come until the end. So it is not the starting as being a Christian that really matters but ending well as a Christian. Stories abound of many who began well but did not end well. Verse 22 of our text today urges us to draw near to Christ in faith indicating our salvation in Christ. To show that that step is not just, the next verse states that we should hold fast the profession of that faith without wavering. It further goes to highlight some of the fruits that should be manifesting in our lives as people holding fast to our profession of faith.

Point of Emphasis:         The race is won, not at the beginning but at the end.

Prayer Point:                  Oh Lord, help me to be able to hold fast to my faith till the end.

DEMEURER FERME JUSQU’AU BOUT

HEBREUX 10 :19-25

La Bible, dans Ecclésiaste 7:8, dit que la fin d’une chose vaut mieux que son commencement. Pendant que le commencement de la course chrétienne est très important et certes très louable, la récompense n’en vient qu’à la fin. Ce n’est donc pas le commencement en tant que chrétien qui importe mais bien finir en tant que chrétien. Les récits abondent de plusieurs chrétiens ayant bien commencé mais qui ont mal fini. Le verset 22 de notre passage d’aujourd’hui nous exhorte à nous approcher de Christ dans (la plénitude de) la foi indiquant notre salut en Christ. Pour montrer que ce pas n’est pas juste, le verset suivant affirme que nous devons retenir fermement la profession de cette foi sans chanceler.

Point essentiel : La course est gagnée, non pas au début mais à la fin.

Axe de prière : Seigneur, aide-moi à être capable de retenir ma foi de façon ferme  jusqu’à la fin.
