“And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is pure.”
—1 John 3:3
If your life were to end today, would you be able to say, like the apostle Paul, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7 NLT)? Paul was saying, “I didn’t stray from the truth of the gospel. I lived it, and I proclaimed it.”
It isn’t a matter of being able to say, “I was flawless and perfect. I never made a mistake.” Rather, would you be able to say, “I kept with it. When I fought, I took on a few black eyes, but I kept fighting. When I ran, I stumbled a few times, but I got up and ran even harder to catch up. I finished the course. I have remained faithful”?
