One of the surest ways to become discouraged in any race is by taking your eyes off the finish line. When the end of the race comes into view, it helps the runner push through the pain of the moment. The same is true for believers, we must keep our eyes fixed on God's Eternal Kingdom if we are going to stand strong for Jesus in a world opposed to Him. This is true for believers today and it will be especially true for those who seek to follow Christ in the Tribulation.
