What 2 Timothy 4:7 means
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Near the end of his life Paul looks back with peace, not because he was flawless but because he was faithful. It is the sentence every believer longs to say one day, and it is built quietly now, by finishing the ordinary course God set and keeping the faith to the end.
