Verse from 2 Timothy

那美好的仗我已经打过了，当跑的路我已经跑尽了，所持的信仰我已经守住了。(提摩太后书 4:7)

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. (2 Timothy 4:7)

We are involved in a “long-distance race.” Let’s run in such a way that we may obtain the prize of “an imperishable crown” (1 Cor. 9:25). What could be more desirable than to finish strong for Christ and to be with Him forever.

Run the straight race through God’s good grace,

Lift up your eyes and seek His face;

Life with its way before us lies,

Christ is the path and Christ the prize. —Monsell

The Christian’s race is not a sprint—it’s a marathon.
