\u201cDo you not know that those who run in the stadium all run, but only one gets the prize? <\/span>Run in such a way that you reach it. <\/span>And everyone who fights from everything abstains; <\/span>they do it to attain a corruptible crown; <\/span>we, however, an incorruptible. <\/span>For so I run, not as the uncertain thing; <\/span>so I fight, not as beating the air.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(1 Corinthians 9.24-26)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our <\/span><\/span>spiritual life<\/span><\/span><\/a> is like sport. <\/span>Competitors train year-round to face the challenge of the final race.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, our effort and dedication towards victory in the <\/span><\/span>Lord Jesus<\/span><\/span><\/a> does not last just 1 year, or just a period of time, but a lifetime.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There are many obstacles and trials that we face. <\/span>Evil spirits use all their cunning to destabilize those who seek the <\/span><\/span>presence of God<\/span><\/span><\/a> . <\/span>And yet there is the existence of human nature in our life, which is limited, as the Lord Jesus observes:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWatch and pray, lest you enter into temptation; <\/span>indeed, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(Matthew 26.41)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bishop Edir Macedo advises: \u201cIn the past, no servant of the Most High, without exception, escaped trials until reaching the final test. <\/span>Read the Bible to verify this. <\/span>Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Jephthah, Samson, David, Daniel, in addition to all the other prophets, apostles and even the Lord Jesus. <\/span>Those were not approved in competitions with others for offices, positions or medals offered by the world. <\/span>Rather, they had to hope against hope and sustain their faith even at serious <\/span><\/span>risk to their lives<\/span><\/span><\/a> . <\/span>They passed the <\/span><\/span>tests of faith<\/span><\/span><\/a> for the eternity of their souls.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen our <\/span><\/span>spirit daily, feeding ourselves with what comes from the Holy Spirit<\/span><\/span><\/a> , because only then can we win the prize of Eternal Life, which is Salvation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And as the apostle Paul warns in the verse at the beginning of this text, we must run in such a way that we reach this goal. <\/span>Unlike the corruptible goods of this world, Salvation is eternal and certain. <\/span>Those who dedicate themselves to achieving it know that constant commitment is necessary.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To learn more about achieving your Salvation, join our <\/span><\/span>Revelation Study<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> , which is held each Sunday at your <\/span><\/span>local Help Center<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
