Hebrews 10: 26 Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. 27 There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. 28 For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us. 30 For we know the one who said,“I will take revenge. I will pay them back.” He also said, “The Lord will judge his own people.” 31 It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. 33 Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. 34 You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.

35 So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36 Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

we can't think we can live any type of way and still be all right with God... I understand that we all fall short.. daily even.. I do too.. but the difference is.. where is our mind? are we thinking about the next thing we will do that isn't living up to God's way? or are we striving to stay away from it.. I fall too.. but it isn't premediated.. I fall because I am weak sometimes.. sometimes my humanness gets the best of me.. and I have to repent and strive all over again to be holy and righteous... this scripture is for the way I used to be... I used to think I could talk any way.. treat people any way... do anything.. I thought as long as I read my bible and prayed that my actions didn't matter.. and that was wrong.. I was trapped and enslaved by sin... now I can do my best to do right.. .and sometimes I succeed.. sometimes I don't.. but I am constantly striving toward the high calling.. striving toward Christ...

I am working toward endurance.. working to be more Christ like by the day... I pray you are too...
