These two terms are used over 70 times in the New Testament, because it is such an important character quality for the Christian life. He devotes two other passages to this theme (6:9-20 10:32-39). He uses the word four times in this passage (vs1,2,3,7).

Endurance, along with its synonym 'patience'/'long-suffering' ( makrothumia) is a key theme in Hebrews. Hupomone means 'to hang in there.' It is perseverance, stick-to-it-tiveness, refusing to quit in spite of fatigue and pressure to do so. Such a race does not require blinding speed it does require endurance. And the path is not level ground it leads through all kinds of hills and obstacles. It starts the moment you receive Christ and lasts until you die or Christ returns. This race is not like a 100 meter dash it is like a marathon. That's the second point in this statement. Can you say that our #1 priority is now to discover and complete God's purpose for your life? Unlike entering the race (which we need do only once), running the race is something we must continue to choose day after day. 'Run the race!' Now that you have received Christ, this is the most important issue in your life. Are you willing to receive God's forgiveness through Christ and enter this race? Have you done this?

So now the issue is not one of eligibility, but of willingness. But the good news is that God says he has already paid the entrance fee for us through the payment of his Son (EXPLAIN). The bad news is that none of us qualifies for this race by our own previous performance in fact, we're all disqualified by this means. Likewise, you aren't eligible to run God's race until you've entered it. Of course, you aren't eligible to run a race until you enter it. Like the Old Testament heroes cited in chapter 11 (and mentioned as spectators in this verse), we are each called by God to play a unique role in his purpose for human history. To run this race means to acknowledge that God's purpose for your life is what matters, and to make it your #1 priority to discover and complete this purpose. Here is the thesis of this passage: 'Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.'
