For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Paul speaks to us from the vantage point of looking back while we must continue to look forward.
Fill up and pour it out!
Paul had nothing left to give. He poured out his life as a sacrifice to God.
Finish Strong!
Fight the good fight.
1 Timothy 6:12 ESV
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Finish the race.
Acts 20:24 ESV
But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Keep the faith.
1 Timothy 6:20 ESV
O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,”
Fastest Mile
There is no point in starting the race if you don’t finish.
