Running the Race - Part IV - Finish Line - Reward

In our spiritual journey, we're called to run a race - not a sprint, but a marathon. This powerful message draws from Hebrews 12:1-2, reminding us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Just as a runner in a marathon experiences small victories along the way, we too can find rewards in our spiritual journey. Our testimonies, born from tests, become milestones of achievement in God's kingdom. The message emphasizes that we're not alone in this race; God runs alongside us, supporting us when we falter. As we persist, our spirit strengthens even as our flesh may grow weary. This race isn't for a earthly accolade, but for the kingdom of God. We're encouraged to push through challenges, fight the good fight, and finish the course with unwavering commitment. The ultimate reward? Standing before Jesus himself, laying our crowns at His feet, and hearing those coveted words: 'Well done, good and faithful servant.'
