OUTLINE:

William McDonald on Heb 2:18
Whereas it pains us to resist temptation, it pained Him to be tempted.

True Grace Motivates!
Doing good works comes from the motivation of gratitude and love, not from guilt or striving to earn our way.

Gal 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

2Co 5:4-5
For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

Know Your Destiny
The writer of Hebrews draws his audience of believers into fellowship with their destiny, as co-victors with the Champion who overcame death, itself, and therefore any real opposition we might face in life from our enemies.

Jesus Knew His Destiny
Jesus condescended to Earth in order to become like those He intended to save (Php 2:6-8). This was His mission and when He accomplished it, He became our relatable “Champion” over that which stood between us and God from the Fall – death.

Ps 18:35
You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand supported me,
and your gentleness made me great.

Celebrate Life
You are a champion because Jesus Christ is the preeminent Champion and you have been baptized into union with Him!

Satan, the god of this world, has architected a system to distract you, to sow doubt and insecurity in you. You deserve much better than that! From eternity past, God has had better plans for you. Own your destiny!

Maybe the next time your insecurity gets the best of you, just say to yourself, “This is who I am. This is how God made me. I need to own it already!”

Ps 139:14
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
