The Apostle Paul uses a metaphor of an athlete in Scripture often-not to highlight the athlete but rather their motivation. Not everyone running a race is entitled to, or is going to win a prize. Some runners will ultimately have a different outcome. Paul tells us to run the race in such a way as to win the prize.As a dedicated athlete trains, practices self control & discipline to win a temporal prize-all the more Believers should pursue a life of discipleship to our eternal savior Christ Jesus
