The Christian race is an ultimate sacrifice that is required of every believer because that's the only way to win against the tricks of the Antichrist.Ecclesiastes 9:11 lets us know that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but to the one who holds out. God wants us to keep on striving, keep on trying, and to keep moving on; trying to reach our goal. Never give up. So first of all, we must stay focused, and secondly, we must press on.
