Hebrews 10:31

Help Each Other

Persevere

1 John 2:19

So What?

• Have we experienced a spiritual exodus in Christ?
• Do we claim Christ as our true passover—our lamb without blemish and without spot who gave his life for us?
• Do we claim a baptism in Christ, the antitype of Israel’s passage through the Red Sea (1 Corinthians 10:1ff.)?
• Do we claim to spiritually feed on him by faith, as Israel was fed by manna from Heaven and water from the rock (1 Corinthians 10:3ff.)?
• Do we claim to look for a heavenly rest, the ultimate spiritual counterpart of the Promised Land?

If so, we will persevere in faith and obedience—holding “firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.”
