💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: WE MUST RUN & FINISH OUR RACE, IN SPITE OF OBSTACLES & CHALLENGES - LAYING ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT OF SIN THAT SO EASILY BESETS US! Every believer runs his own race (1 Corinthians 9:24 ).

Each of us is enabled to be a winner. Paul exhorted us to “run in such a way as to get the prize,” and to do this we must set aside anything that might hinder us from living and teaching the gospel of Christ.

So, by declaring “I have finished the race,” (2 Timothy 4:7) Paul is telling Timothy that he had put every effort into the work of proclaiming to all the gospel of salvation. He had completed the course set before him; he had left nothing undone. He was ready to cross the finish line into the Kingdom. We “run” not for a temporary crown, but for an eternal one. Paul said to the church at Corinth, who were familiar with the Olympic Games, used the games as a metaphor when he said:

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever” (1 Corinthians 9:24-25).

Therefore, beloved, do not let sin and false doctrine have their way in your life to cause you to stumble and fall off from this wonderful race and journey we're on as we live wholly and devoted lives unto the Lord Jesus! Remain abiding in Him all the days of your life! May we be diligent in our “race,” may we keep our eyes on the goal, and may we, like Paul, finish strong.

Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
