Every Christian is running a race.  We are entered into the race the moment we are saved. The question is - how will we run this race?  Some run simply because they are on the track.  While others, far fewer, run because there is a prize. Do you accept the Race?  The Incorruptible Crown is waiting for you. "It is for those who have gained the victory over the old man, the old sin nature. It is for those who have learned to live a Spirit-controlled life."
