No room for complacency, cruise
control, “taking it easy” in the spiritual life.
“broad road to destruction” / “narrow road”
STRIVE – PERSEVERANCE – DISCIPLINE
(virtue of Hope & courage)
Hebrews "My son, do not disdain the discipline of the
Lord or lose heart when reproved by him; for whom the Lord loves,
he disciplines; he scourges every son he acknowledges." Endure
your trials as "discipline"; God treats you as sons.
Abraham. Isaac. Jacob. – they persevered, they strove
with discipline in the journey of faith that lasted a lifetime.
Christianity is a race, and not a sprint race that’s requires
one hard burst of ourselves. Rather, a marathon.
Marathon Race – why I can’t beat my brother. LACK OF DISCIPLINE to train.
We must make sacrifices for the sake of what we
want. We must organize our life for this
one thing.
We must desire sanctity. To be saints.
Holiness. Discipline.
We were designed for this.
