STRIP OFF WHAT WEIGHS YOU DOWN
📓1 Corinthians 9:24
_Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. (KJV)_
Christianity is a calling. Jesus Christ revealed, "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day" - John 6:44. To explain, God calls us to Christ for Him to give us life. He calls us from sin (death) to life. And the calling is like, God says, "My child, run away from death to life; RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" Apparently, God calls us and sets before us a race; not a competitive race, but a run for your life race. And to successfully run this race, we must throw off anything that hinders us and slows us down.
When the Lord was saving Lot and his family, he ordered them, "..Run for your lives! And don't look back or stop anywhere in the valley! Escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away!" - Genesis 19:17 (nlt). Actually, God revealed to them what would hinder or weigh them down during the race. Likewise, 'we are not to look back,' that's, we must turn our backs on this sinful world and it's desires. Besides, we are 'not to stop anywhere in the valley,' that's, we must not remain in our sins and not to give up on the race. For it's our lives that we are racing for.
Beloved, what is weighing you down in the race? Is it envy, lies, fornication, pornography, pride, theft, or drunkenness? Strip off any sin that is weighing you down in Christ."...let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our hearts on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart" - Hebrews 12:1-3 (niv).
