Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

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 challenges believers to approach their spiritual journey with the commitment and focus of an athlete competing to win. This verse uses the metaphor of a race to illustrate the dedication, perseverance, and discipline required in the Christian life. Believers are encouraged to “run” with purpose, avoiding distractions and pressing forward with their eyes on the goal. In a race, only one runner receives the prize, emphasizing the need to give our best effort, striving to honor God in all we do. This verse inspires us to pursue a life of excellence, where we actively seek to grow in faith and to serve God wholeheartedly. The prize represents the eternal rewards awaiting those who remain faithful. This verse calls us to live with intention, avoiding complacency and committing ourselves fully to God’s calling. By running “to win,” we embrace a life of purpose, dedication, and unwavering faith, positioning ourselves to experience the fullness of God’s promises.
