HOLD ON TILL THE END

Text: Hebrews 3:14 (NLT), Hebrews 6:11-12 (NIV)

Key Verse: Hebrews 6:11-12 (NIV) – “We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.”

Introduction: God calls us to remain faithful, trusting Him until the very end. In a world filled with challenges and distractions, it’s easy to become discouraged or lose sight of the rewards that await those who persevere. This study will explore the importance of holding on to our faith and obedience until the end.

Study:

1. Faithfulness to the End:

• Reflect on Hebrews 3:14. What does it mean to be faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed?
• Discuss the importance of enduring in faithfulness despite challenges or opposition.
• Explore Galatians 6:9. What encouragement does this verse offer to those who persevere?

1. Diligence and Hope:

• Examine Hebrews 6:11-12. Why is it important to show diligence to the very end to fully realize our hope?
• Reflect on the dangers of becoming complacent or lazy in our faith journey.
• Discuss the importance of imitating those who have demonstrated faith and patience in inheriting God’s promises.

1. Enduring through Challenges:

• Reflect on Matthew 10:22. How does Jesus encourage His followers to endure despite persecution or opposition?
• Explore the example of Jesus in Hebrews 12:2. How did He endure the cross and despise the shame for the joy set before Him?
• Discuss how we can fix our eyes on Jesus and His promises, even in the midst of trials.

1. Standing Firm in the Work of the Lord:

• Reflect on Acts 14:22. Why does Scripture affirm that it is through much tribulation that we enter the kingdom of God?
• Explore 1 Corinthians 15:58. How does this verse encourage believers to stand firm and give themselves fully to the work of the Lord?
• Discuss practical ways to remain steadfast in faith and obedience, even when faced with challenges or setbacks.

Conclusion:
As followers of Christ, we are called to hold on until the end, remaining faithful and obedient to God’s commands. Despite the challenges and opposition we may face, we are encouraged to imitate those who have gone before us in faith and perseverance. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, endure through trials, and stand firm in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labor is not in vain. As we remain faithful to the end, we will inherit the promises and rewards God has prepared for us
