6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
…and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; and others experienced mockings and scourges, yes., also chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were put to death. with the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill treated men of whom the world was not worthy, wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground.
And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised, because God had provided something better for us so that apart from us, they would not be made perfect.
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance, the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
For consider him who has endured such hostility by sinners against himself so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. — Hebrews 11:35 – 12-3
The writer of Hebrews concludes his great roll call of faith chapter by reminding us of those saints who have undergone persecution. He does this to remind his readers to stay faithful to Jesus and to continue to run that race with their eyes fixed on him. By implication in His prophetic word, he is encouraging us to do the same. And also, by implication for us to remember the persecuted saints, today.
It has been said that it was never considered a church service in the first century unless the martyrs were remembered. The word martyr in the Greek means witness. The writer of Hebrews is exhorting us to remember those witnesses who have gone before us.
