In the book of Hebrews, believers are commanded to lay aside every weight and sin that entangles us, so we may run with endurance the race set before us. This call echoes vividly in Numbers 31, where Moses models a relentless commitment to confront sin and rid evil influences from Israel's midst. We must be willing to fight sin fiercely, never retreating, until the day we are called home to be with Jesus.
