“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (Hebrews 12:1).
As we think of the faithful saints who have gone before us and who preserved for the church a true and correct doctrine of the Holy Scriptures, we are encouraged by what they accomplished for the Kingdom of God through their dedicated concern for the mission of the church. We, then, are motivated to follow their example and to continue what they have begun, in grateful response to God’s love and provision for us.
