Running The Christian Race

2 Timothy 4:6-7 - For I am ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, and I have kept the faith.

The Apostle Paul gave us a great example of running the race in our Christian walk. He shows us how to be victorious so we can attain the price.

Paul said his life had been poured out like a drink offering

He was empty – he had given all that he had.

There was nothing left in him to give. He had poured it all into the lives of unsaved people.

He had given everything God gave him back into the service to Christ.

Because he had accomplished all God called him to do, He was ready to face death and depart this life.

He was not afraid to die. He was ready to be offered up.

He was an offering.

Hi life was a sacrifice.

He was a gift that had been given to draw mankind to the one and only Savior and he had been victorious each step of the way.

How is your Christian race unfolding?
