The book of Hebrews describes the life of a Christian as being that of "running the race." While God has a meaningful race for everyone to run, entry into the race depends on us receiving God's gift of forgiveness. This passage calls us to run the race with endurance, only possible if we drop "excess baggage" that will sap our strength, including sin and an over-dependence and love of distractions.
