Contending for the Word Q&A
The Christian life is not merely about how we begin. It is about continuing in faith and finishing well by the sustaining grace of God.In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins considers Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 4:7 and the call of Hebrews 12:1 to run with endurance. Finishing well does not mean living perfectly. It means remaining faithful to Christ, holding fast to the truth, enduring through difficulty, and keeping our eyes fixed on the Lord.Believers persevere not by their own strength, but because God is faithful to sustain His people.Listen or Watch Here
