Let us run with perseverance the race marked for us. Heb:12:1 Because we have examples ahead of us. Because we saw what priorities these examples have set before them and how well they have run. Let us also run like them with perseverance. Jesus looked ahead to the joy that was set before Him and He endured the cross and scorned it's shame, so we too looking forward to the joy of joining with Him, let us endure our cross. Do not grow weary. Do not lose heart. (v:3). Persevere. Keep running in the right direction. Endure hardship and discipline (v:7). Because He is your Father and you His child. He disciplines you because He loves you. To purge you out of all evil that is in you. Do not lose heart. Do not be discouraged. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on however it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it (v:11).

The world was not worthy of them. Heb:11:38 The world and its blessings eluded them. Fools they look because they chased something they did not receive. The world was not worthy of them. Because of their faith, they deserved much more than what this world could offer them. V:40. God had planned something better for us, so that only together with us, would they be made perfect. Inorder to live with a heavenly or eternal perspective you need to have faith. That eternal perspective is what you are destined for. Without which you are incomplete. And without you heaven is incomplete. Living with a finite perspective of what this world could offer will limit you. What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard and what no human mind has conceived, that things God has prepared for those who love Him. 1 Cor:2:9
