The author of Hebrews exhorts us to run the race of life that God sets before us with persevering faith, following the testimony of many witnesses and the example of Jesus, to the saving of our souls. The key points are:
1. The testimony of many witnesses gives us confidence that running the race is worth it.
2. Our instructions for running the race well include laying aside any weights and the sin that clings to us closely.
3. Our focus while running the race is on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith.
