Run, that ye may obtain (1 Corinthians 9:24).

Apostle Paul here illustrates the principle that if one fails to exercise self-control, self-denial and love with regard to others will never receive the incorruptible crown. This prize mentioned in this verse refers to the victory of gaining eternal salvation the precious goal of the Christian Life.

This goal can only be won by giving up some of our rights for Godly virtues. We have to renounce those things that would take us out of the race altogether. We must put on the whole armour of God so that we can stand against the wicked schemes of Devil. (Ephesians 6:11-17).

While running the race we must be praying in Spirit, always, for everyone with all perseverance. When we practice the virtues as we find in (Galatians 5:22-23), Love, Joy, Peace, long-suffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance we will surely possess eternal salvation or the incorruptible crown.

Walk in fellowship with God.

Pray in Holy Spirit.

Practice the virtues.

Surely you will obtain the Prize.

God bless you all.
