Run the race

The apostle Paul used three wonderful verbs when describing the Christian life:
1. Run
2. Keep
3. Fight

Is that what you are doing?
Running the race
Keeping the faith
Fighting the good fight

We live in a day and time where the church has become ignorant and apathetic toward God's word. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 13:5 - "Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!
Are these verbs being integrated into your Christian life. If not - start now - ask the Lord Jesus to give you a passion, desire and a treasuring of His word. Ask Him to guide your thoughts, words and actions in such a way that when others see you they will see Christ in you the hope of glory!
