Notice we start with "Therefore." In other words, all the faith stuff in Hebrews 11 leads us to the following conclusion. We have lots of heavenly encouragers (cloud of witnesses,) do finish the race. Keep your eyes on Jesus who makes up what's lacking in us. Take hardships as discipline and discipline as a sign that God is preparing you for better things.
Live a holy life as a result. You are headed towards the Son of the living God. The author tells us that we are not coming to a number of Old Testament images involving Moses, Elijah and Gideon.
Don't turn you back on God.
