Philippians 3:14
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of GOD in CHRIST JESUS.
Hebrews 12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us
1Corinthians 9:24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
When you are in a race, you have to train and be disciplined to win 1st place. Well in a Christian life it is the same thing -- only difference is we are running toward our Heavenly reward. Both require training and discipline just....different kind of training...lol. Christians essential training and discipline would be: prayer, Bible study, and worship, seeking GOD in everything, etc.
Just don't come out or live by jogging a few laps and say "I give up", Train diligently, because your spiritual race depends upon it.
2Timothy 4:7-8
7I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the LORD, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
What a day that will be when JESUS face we will see -- and the rewards we get -- we can lay them at JESUS feet!!
*finishing this study up tomorrow, so please come back*
In His Name
GOD bless you and yours.....
