Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:6-8
Becoming a Christian is relatively easy: acknowledge to God that you are a sinner and receive by faith the free gift of eternal life that Christ provided by His shed blood.But then comes the hard part—hanging in there as a Christian in a world that is hostile towards God and His people. The world constantly dangles in front of you all that it has to offer in opposition to the things of God. From within, the flesh entices you to forsake Christ and gratify your sinful desires. The enemy hits you with temptation after temptation.Let’s face it: starting well is relatively easy. Finishing well is a different matter! How do we, as believers stay strong and keep ourselves pure in world chock-full of sin? What should be the driving factor that keeps us motivated?
