Charles Spurgeon wrote, "If you look to Christ at the beginning of your Christian life, but then begin to look to yourself for its continuance to the end, you will fail. Jesus is the Alpha (the beginning), and be sure you make him Omega (the ending) as well."
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Focus your faith upon Jesus by trusting him to do in us, what we cannot do for ourselves. Focusing our faith upon Jesus dying for our sins and risen from the dead is believing the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Then, we are saved and begin to live the Christian life.
Believers look to Jesus trusting him to continue working in us. Living our Christian life is knowing Christ works in you to please God (Hebrews 13:20-21). Indeed, Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega of every Christian's faith. He who began the good work in us will continue until the day of completion (Philippians 1:6; 2:13).
Believers continue looking to Jesus, and one day our faith shall become sight. Understand that's the day when you see him face to face. You shall be glorified into his likeness (Romans 8:30). "We shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2). The Christian life is looking unto Jesus Christ until that day.
