Do not be slothful

Do not be slothful


"Do not be slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises." Hebrews 6:12

Our great Example is the Lord Jesus Christ—but we have also presented before us the example of men of like passions with ourselves who were compassed with infirmity, and who felt that when they would do good evil was present with them; yet who, through the grace of God, steadfastly pursued their course; overcame the world, the flesh, and the devil—and, through faith and patience, now inherit the promises.

Let us, casting sloth and self-indulgence away , strive to follow them.
He who was their help and strength—lives to aid us.
His grace is our sufficiency. Let us . . .
  mark the path they trod,
  seek to exercise like precious faith, and
  declare plainly that we seek a better country, even a heavenly one.

Let us patiently endure all the trials and difficulties of the narrow way, encouraged by the expectation of joining those who are now in the enjoyment of the glorious things promised by a faithful covenant God!
