I have fought the good fight. Paul could look back and say that, despite all the struggles and persecutions he faced, he overcame. Since his conversion, the race for eternity had been set before him. The apostle made the deepest statement of faithfulness and faith, for he had invested all his time and all his strength to reach his goal. Because he longed for eternal life - his prize -, he considered his lossses and suffering as light and momentary pain. To the world, Paul was a man in the last days of his life, but for God he was a faithful soldier who was capable of risking his life to preserve sound doctrine and lead people to Salavation. The apostle was a man whose body had scars of the battles he fought, but in his heart, he rejoiced for being able to remain faithful to his Savior until the end. Paul only managed to fight bravely and succeed because he kept his treasure - his faith. May we, like Paul, keep away from temptations and believe, without hesitation, in the word of the Most High.
