HOW TO FINISH WELL

life-changingHOW TO FINISH WELL.

Of all the people well, the Lord Jesus Christ has pre-eminence Jn.17:4. He finished well because He conquered all the obstacles to finishing well. The obstacles to finishing well are in three major categories.

Satan and his cohorts. The devil does not want you to finish well and he will do anything within his power to make sure that you fail. 1 peter 5;8-9. However, we thank God that Jesus has conquered Satan and handed deliverance to those of us who would have finished poorly because of Satan and his host Luke 22:31-32.

Sin. Adultery, fornication, jealousy, envy, falsification of records, pride, stealing, strife, and so forth come under this category. Jesus conquered sin for us Heb 4:14-15, Jn 14:30. Sin should not have dominion over us because our Captain has conquered sin for us. Rom. 6:8-14, Col 3:5-6.

The world and all it can offer. The greatest temptation that the Lord Jesus Christ faced was in this category. Matt. 4:8-10. We thank God; Jesus was able to defeat the enemy Jn 16:33. Many people who failed to finish well in the bible failed when it came to the issue of the world 2 Tim. 4:10; Acts 1:15-20. This is why the scriptures warn us against the love of this world and the things that are in this world 1 Jn. 2:15-17.

Conclusively, we are able to overcome all obstacles to finishing well through the Lord Jesus Christ Phil 4; 13. Let us call on the One who has gone through this way and finished well to help us.
