Finishing well is critical in the Kingdom of God. How we finish is far more important than how we were when we started. We can even overcome any drift off course we may have in the middle of our lives by turning towards God as our days draw to a close.
This is both good news for those with some unflattering things in their past, and a caution to those with a good past who might be coasting now. Unless we’re moving forward with God, we’re in danger of drifting away from Him and His goodness.
The devil wants you to believe you will always be the sum total of all your yesterdays and their mistakes. But in truth, God is calling you towards your true identity, which is yet in the future.
Don't let your past hold you back. Set a course for your true future self and decide today that you will finish well!
Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. — Philippians 3:13-14 (WEB)
