Living in Community is one of the key factors to this race, and these are some scriptures God has revealed to me:
Romans 15
1: We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not please ourselves. 2: Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
 
5: May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, 6: so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
13: May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
 
Once we fully live in community this is what happens:
21: Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.
God is Good! : )
