Finishing Well

Following Jesus is not just about how we begin the Christian life, but how faithfully we endure and how we finish. Scripture reminds us that faith is a long race requiring purpose, perseverance, and endurance. The apostle Paul challenges us to run with purpose, to press on even when growth feels incomplete, and to remain focused on the eternal prize. Jesus Himself warns that faith will be tested as pressures increase, yet He promises salvation to those who stand firm to the end. As Paul reflects on his life near its conclusion, he does not claim perfection, but faithfulness. The call for every believer is the same: to hold firmly to Jesus’

teaching and live daily in obedient faith, trusting that finishing well begins with faithful choices made today.
