Finishing Strong

2 John 1
Verse 8 "Be diligent so that you receive your full reward"
Persevering to the end is the key to a full reward. If we labor hard for Christ and then in the last few years of our lives we kick back and relax, then we will lose our full reward.

Finishing Strong is more more important than starting strong, because how you finish the race determines the reward you receive. They don't hand out trophies to those who are leading after the first lap, the trophy goes to one leading at the finish line.

Everyone reading this today has the opportunity to finish stronger than how you started. You may have started weak, struggling to live the Christian life or you may have started strong, blazing a trail for the Glory of God, but regardless of how you started we all have the potential to finish stronger. Persevering to the end, being diligent until we cross the finish line. Because only by finishing strong will you ever know and experience the full reward of living for Christ
