This entry is part [part not set] of 3099 in the series Daily Words for the Christian Life
Holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.
—Philippians 2:16
The reward for running the race is an imperishable wreath, the crown of righteousness (1 Cor. 9:24–25; 2 Tim. 4:8). When we pursue the Lord and grow in life, all those we serve will also pursue Christ for the growth in life.
Adapted from Philippians: That I May Gain Christ,
by Titus Chu; page 134.
Tomorrow: “Running for the Prize” (8)
