In it to win it or fake it and hope I make it
1. Run with endurance
Hebrews 12:1:
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
Not easy living a Christian life
Must give up anything that endangers our relationship with Him
Must keep our eyes on Him.
The Christian life was never promised as an easy way to live.
2. Run to win the prize
Winning a race requires purpose and discipline, We are running towards our heavenly reward.
1 Corinthians 9:24:
24 Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!
3. Finish with Joy
Life isn’t what you can get out of it but what you put into it.
Acts 20:24:
24But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
2 Timothy 4:7:
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.
No matter how difficult the fight may seem, we must keep on fighting because it will be worth it all in the end.
