- 1 Corinthians 9:24
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 9:242 voices
Know ye not that - In those famous games which are kept at the isthmus, near your city. They who run in the foot race all run, though but one receiveth the prize - How much greater encouragement have you to run; since ye may all receive the prize of your high calling!
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
WE ARE CONTINUALLY insisting upon it from day to day, that salvation is not of works, but of grace. We lay this down as one of the very first doctrines of the gospel. “Not of works, lest any man should boast.” “By grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.” But we find that it is equally necessary to preach the absolute necessity of a religious life for the attainment of heaven at last.
Charles Spurgeon· The New Park Street Pulpit, Sermon No. 198: “The Heavenly Race” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition), 1858
- Philippians 3:14
I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.
Commentary on Philippians 3:142 voices
SO far as his acceptance with God is concerned, a Christian is complete in Christ as soon as he believes. Those who have trusted themselves in the hands of the Lord Jesus are saved—and they may enjoy holy confidence upon the matter, for they have a Divine warrant for so doing. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus." To this salvation the Apostle had attained.
Charles Spurgeon· The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 1114: “Onward!” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition), 1873
Forgetting the things that are behind - Even that part of the race which is already run. And reaching forth unto - Literally, stretched out over the things that are before - Pursuing with the whole bent and vigour of my soul, perfect holiness and eternal glory. In Christ Jesus - The author and finisher of every good thing.
