Christian life is like a race. Jesus Christ supplies the resources for us to press on toward the goal. Christ’s goals should be our goal. The winner receives an award of everlasting glory.

The main aspects we have to exercise are self-control, self-denial, and love with regard to others. We must not be a ‘castaway’. If we fail the test or reject the test, we may fail to obtain the prize of final salvation.

Living a holy – life, exercising self- control and enduring hard hips for Christ lead us to obtain what is being kept for us. We the partakers of divine grace should not be rejected by God because of evil conduct. Obedience to the word of god, experiencing close fellowship with Christ, divinely sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit we gain the incorruptible crown.

God is faithful and will provide a way, and give sufficient power to finish the race.

Run the race amidst trials

Run the race amidst temptations

Run the race amidst affliction

Run the race amidst discouragement

You have the crown of righteousness
