2A “I consider my life of no account as if precious to myself, in order that I may finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus” — Acts 20:24:
31 Paul began to run the course of the heavenly race after he was taken possession of by the Lord, and he ran continually that he might finish it — 1 Cor. 9:24-26; Phil. 3:12-14.
42 It was not until the last moment of his running the race that the apostle Paul could triumphantly proclaim, “I have finished the course,” and have the assurance that he would be rewarded by the Lord at His appearing — 2 Tim. 4:7-8.
5B A proper Christian life involves running the course, the race, for the carrying out of God’s economy according to His eternal purpose — 1 Cor. 9:24.
6C We need to seek out the journey that the Lord has ordained and faithfully walk on it, paying any price to wholeheartedly continue on our journey until we reach the end — 2 Tim. 4:7.
