![]() ![]() 26Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly I do not fight like a man beating the air. They do it to get a crown that will not last but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. As I read, try and identify the things Paul instructs us to do if we are to be successful in the most important aspect of our lives – the spiritual.Ģ4Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.Ģ5Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. With this idea in mind, Paul writes the following words to his friends in the church in Corinth. Although we celebrate the fact that our salvation is not something we can earn – it’s important for us to realize that maturity in Christ ONLY comes through the same route that success comes in any other area – and that’s through discipline! And the same is true in our spiritual lives. In business, school, athletics, you name it – those who succeed are those who discipline themselves to perform the tasks that are necessary for success.
