1 Corinthians 9:24-27
We must not merely "shadow box," as he describes, but fight with our whole heart to please God and glorify Him with a proper witness before men. However, our works do not admit us into the Father's presence and keep communication flowing. Jesus Christ's sacrifice does; the sin and trespass offerings precede us. If we could get into His presence by our works, who would need Christ? We would be sufficient to redeem and save ourselves. We need to thank God humbly for His gracious providence that enables us all along the way.
