"Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.
But now He has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight,
without blemish and free from accusation– if you continue in your faith,
established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel.
Colossians 1:21-22
"If you continue in your faith..." There it is, brother and sisters.
The choice.
Will we finish the race or not? It will not be finished for us, or without our participation, it's up to us; there are two choices set before us: the way of Life or the way of death. The Father, Son, and the Spirit all call to us, sometimes in whispers, sometimes shouting: COME!! Don't quit or lose heart! Keep at it! Be bold, be strong! Choose LIFE!
But They won't make us, won't drag us across that finish line, so we must grasp tightly to the hope of things we know are true that are yet unseen, for this is the very definition, the very essence of faith. Let us consider who, what, and where we were before He reconciled us, and presented us holy, and let us remember that this is not about us, it's all about a preeminent Jesus.
He made a way for us, He will be faithful to complete what was begun in us...
Keep your faith, beloved, and finish what He began in you.
