1. We tend to forget about those who have gone before and think we are the first to struggle in faith. (The Problem) 2. There are those who have struggled before us who saw God's miraculous faith at work. (The Correction) • God's faithfulness led them to defeat nations. • God's faithfulness restored what was lost. • God's faithfulness led them to lose all that they had. • God's faithfulness led them to give their lives. • God's faithfulness set them apart from this fallen world. 3. They struggled for our benefit and we must struggle for the benefit of those who come after. (The Follow-Through) a. Struggles (or the lack of) is not an indicator of faith's acceptance. b. Struggles do not suggest that God has abandoned us. c. Struggles are given for the benefit of those who come after us. d. Struggles are the means by which God perfects us all.
