What we won't endure alone, we need one another.

And the Book of Hebrews is very clear on this point in Hebrews chapter 3 verses 12 to 14.

There we are commanded to take care, brothers, lesser be in any of you, an evil and believing

heart leading you to fall away from the living God.

But exhort one another every day as long as it is called today.

None of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin for we have come to share in Christ.

If indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.

That's a great text, important point.

If we are to endure to the end, we need one another as we fight to see Christ as better

than all the false promises of this world.

Here's Pastor John applying this text.

If the essence of deceit sin, hardness, unbelief, falling away, eternal destruction, if

the essence of the deceit is, God is less to be desired than blank.

What are you going to say?

He's better, he's better.

Christ is better, his way is better in a thousand experiential and biblical ways of showing

that he's better.

That's what you're going to say, right?

And if that's right, and Hebrews 11 illustrates it with, even the reproaches of Christ are better

than the pleasures of each chapter 11 verse 26.

And the reproaches of the Christ are greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt.

If that's the positive things we're going to say, the negative is also true.
