This should be the desire of every believer. To be able to say, “I have finished my course.” To be able to say that “I have accomplished all that God has placed on the inside of me.” If it is our aim to be able to say those words, we must be willing to fight the way that he did. Paul was stoned; shipwrecked, beaten with rods, whipped, and faced hardships in nearly every city where he preached, yet he finished his course. Paul faced more hardships than any one of us could ever imagine, and yet he did not quit. Paul was determined to become all that God wanted him to be. He even said, “Forgetting those things that are behind, I press towards the mark...” (Philippians 3:13)”. It takes determination not to give up despite the obstacles, but we must also understand that like Paul, we have the Greater One, who cannot fail and cannot lose, living on the inside of us. If we will stay determined and refuse to quit, we can one day say what Paul said: “I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
