Discipleship

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.
No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.

Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.

But the noble make noble plans,
and by noble deeds they stand.

“I made a covenant with my eyes
not to look lustfully at a young woman.

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
