Running to Win

Paul used the example of an athlete to illustrate the discipline required by a life of faith. Like training for a race, our spiritual progress requires discipline, training, and effort. Victory, teaches Alistair Begg, depends on the refusal to allow our eyes to wander, our minds to settle, and our affections to run after things that draw us away from Christ. Compelled by the love of Christ, we will run to win.
