“7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather,

train yourself to be godly. 8 For physical training is of some value,

but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present

life and the life to come.”

1 Timothy 4:7-8 (NIV)

“Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that

everyone may see your progress.”

1 Timothy 4:15 (NIV)

CHAMPION!

“24 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. 25 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. 26 Therefore I do not

run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.

27 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.”

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NIV)

CHAMPION!

“12 I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess

that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. 13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on to reach the

end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling

us.”

“1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, 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, 2 fixing our eyes 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.”

“6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my

departure is near. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have

that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his

appearing.”
