Faster, Higher, Stronger 2 PERSEVERANCE

PERSEVERANCE

(Romans 5:3-5; Hebrews 12:1-2)

• Ø  Unlike any other race, the race in Christian life is not to compete with one another but to finish the race
• Ø  Finishing the race = PERSEVERANCE
• Ø  No one can run the race for us
• Ø  We are on a race called LIFE

LIFE – comes from a Greek word “zuke/bios” which means everyday existence

-          “Zuwe” means the way, the truth, to live

Existing – just making it through the day.

·         There is more to life than merely existing

·         We are here not to start the race but to finish the race
