Reading for today: Exodus 35:1-19, I Corinthians 9:24-25
“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.” I Corinthians 9:24
Paul is not informing us that only one believer receives Heaven. In fact according to our “regulations,” we are to encourage others to also receive the prize (Hebrews 3:13). The point here is to run like a winner. How does a winner run? With zeal and every bit of energy God gives (Romans 12:11). And he finishes “tattered and torn,” completely spent for God.
