So what does winning look like it entail?

Good question! I think we often believe we have to be a super-saint, but the Lord tells the faithful servant in Matthew 25, "Well done good and faithful servant - you have ben faithful in a FEW things." And if you look at Hebrews chapter 11, the "Faith Chapter," you see that the ones listed were not necessarily acting like super-saints all the time . . . there were many failings. My belief is that the Lord will impress on us the few things to be faithful in. (I have 4 specific things I know I need to be faithful in.)
