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. 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. THEREFORE I
DO NOT RUN LIKE SOMEONE RUNNING AIMLESSLY; I
DO NOT FIGHT LIKE A BOXER BEATING THE AIR. 27NO,
I STRIKE A BLOW TO MY BODY AND MAKE IT MY
SLAVE SO THAT AFTER I HAVE PREACHED TO
I MYSELF9:24-27
WILL NOT BE DISQUALIFIED FOR

ASSESSMENT IN THE BIBLE
Throughout the NT, we find that God’s
people are never held accountable for
what they don’t have...only for what has
been given them.
God’s People are only held accountable
for what they have been given.

GREG WIENS
ASSESSMENT IN THE BIBLE
Matthew 25:14-30
The question is never, why one servant
doesn’t produce as much as another...It is:
What did you do with what I gave you?
God is ultimately concerned with what we
do with what he has given us.
He does not hold us accountable for what
we cannot do.

YOU'VE ALL BEEN TO THE STADIUM AND SEEN THE
ATHLETES RACE. EVERYONE RUNS; ONE WINS. RUN
TO WIN. ALL GOOD ATHLETES TRAIN HARD. THEY
DO IT FOR A GOLD MEDAL THAT TARNISHES AND
FADES. YOU'RE AFTER ONE THAT'S GOLD
ETERNALLY.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I'M RUNNING HARD
FOR THE FINISH LINE. I'M GIVING IT EVERYTHING
I'VE GOT. NO SLOPPY LIVING FOR ME! I'M STAYING
ALERT AND IN TOP CONDITION. I'M NOT GOING TO
GET CAUGHT NAPPING, TELLING EVERYONE ELSE
ALL ABOUT IT AND THEN MISSING OUT MYSELF.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27(Message)
