Winning The Race Of Life

Winning has a life sustaining and motivational value. No wonder sportsmen and women pay exceptional price to attain success. For the footballer it is the cup. For the athlete, it is the medal. For the boxer, it is the belt.
A lot of effort goes into preparing to win. Physical sacrifices, time and talent are vital resources for success.
The businessman needs great financial education and connection to win. Wealth is the direct result of such effort.
Life is a race for everyone. To win, there are certain price to pay and preparations to make. 'What profit hat a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? Asks the preacher in Ecclesiastes chapter one verse three. Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity. Life's race ends either in Paradise with God or Hell with the devil. Which one is your choice? Before you answer that question, note that there are certain rules put in place that must be followed.

'For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God'. A sinner must acknowledge and confess his sins. 'If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved'. Jesus paid the full price on the cross. Believe in his atoning sacrifice on calvary and you shall be saved. True winners in the race of life believe in Jesus Christ the son of God. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Go and sin no more. Identify with a Bible believing church and continue in fellowship with true believers.
