I ran the race and won.

“Peace and love with faith to you
from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace to all of you who love our Lord Jesus Christ
with love that never ends.”
- Ephesians 6:23,24 NCV

“My dear friends, you have always obeyed God
when I was with you.
It is even more important that you obey now
while I am away from you.
Keep on working to complete your salvation
with fear and trembling,
because God is working in you
to help you want to do and be able to do
what pleases him.
Do everything without complaining or arguing.
Then you will be innocent and without any wrong.
You will be God's children without fault.
But you are living with
crooked and mean people all around you,
among whom you shine like stars in the dark world.
You offer the teaching that gives life.
So when Christ comes again, I can be happy
because my work was not wasted.
I ran the race and won.”
- Philippians 2:12-16 NCV
