Episode 324 - Show Notes:
- The writer of the book of Hebrews identifies two things we need to let go of. These two things easily entangle us and keep us from running the race God has marked out for us. The two things are sin and everything that hinders.
- Repentance is turning away and letting go of sin. When the Holy Spirit makes us aware of our sin, we confess it to God and offer our repentance. This repentance is more than simply feeling sorry for what we have done. It is a turning away and a letting go of the sin.
- There are things that may not be sin, but they still hinder our relationship with God. With God’s help, we let them go. Our choices are not always between right and wrong, but between something that may hinder us and something else that may not.
- True discipleship is about a sanctifying process of putting off the old life and taking on the new life in Christ. Every time we let go of the carnal life that hinders us, we experience a step forward of spiritual growth.
Hebrews 12:1 - “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.”
