Running to Win (Part 1 of 2)

You wouldn’t prepare for Olympic competition by simply studying rule books or watching KZbin videos of your sport. You’d train diligently! On Truth For Life, Alistair Begg explains why similar self-discipline is required to live out a life of faith.

Colossians 3:1-4 English Standard Version Put On the New Self 3 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your[a] life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

No For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel. 1 Corinthians 9:16 Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account. Philippians 4:17 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. Matthew 23:15 Peter began to say to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You.” Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last, first.” Mark 10:28-31 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19 anyone can cheat when they run and box and still win a prize. sure it's not a 1:1 illustration Paul is using, God knows all things. so if one could "cheat" his way into a prize, he doesn't really have one (1 Corinthians 10:12)
