But If you have done this, what
then? We com back to our text for
answer. Paul says, "Know We not that
they which run in q race run all, but
one receiveth the prize?" In other
words, all Christians are running In
this race, but all will not win the
prize. That does not mean that all real
Christians are not, saved or that all
such will not 60 to heaven.
But 1t means that it is one thing to
be saved and 60 to heaven and an
other thing to get the prize Paul talks
about. Just what that prize Is he
touches on a little later, but here he
simply says, $50 run, that We may OBJ.
tain"
Is not that what we want to do? Do
we not want to run successfully? Do
we not want to obtain all that God
has SO lovingly promised US in his
Son2 81
How may we do it, Here is a hint.
"And every man which striveth for the
mastery" says Paul, sis temperate. In
all things" You know how 1t is If
you want to be q good all-round ath.
lete. You must take good care of your.
self. You must eat the right kind Of
food, and sleep well, and exercise reg
nlarly and practice hard, and all that
kind Of thing. You cannot afford to be
careless In anything If you would win
the prize. And 30 1t is in the Chris.
tian race. To be temperate in all
things" means that as Christians we
must keep a watch upon ourselves.
We must guard u eyes, and ears,
and tongue, and hands, and feet and
all our thoughts from sin. We must
seek every day to do the will Of God
in all things. And that means that we
must read his Holy Word and ask him
to help us understand 1t by his Holy
Spirit, SO that WI may know his will
and love to DO It, just as Jesus did.
And this Is worth while, for Paul
says: 'They do It to obtain 4 corrupt.
ible crown; but we an incorruptlble."
The winner In the Grecian game felt It
reward enough IL he had a crown Of
laurel placed on his head. In the pres
ence Of the applauding throng. Such
a crown would o wither away, how
ever, but not so the crow which God
gives to the victorious soul. That IL
IN incorruptible crown, there is no de-
cay In 1t and 1t lasts forever.
What is the nature of that CROWN
It is hard to express 1t In human lam
guage. Paul was once caught up into
Paradise, he tells us, "and heard un-
speakable words which 1t Is not pos
sible for man to utter" And this H.
l~ustrates why we cannot understand
much that we accept by faith Of the
things God hath prepared for them
that love him" They are impossible
