JUNE 12 - START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. I MYSELF WILL NOT BE DISQUALIFIED “Be disqualified” (Greek adokimos) gives the idea of “failing the test” or “being rejected.” Paul uses this same term in 2 Corinthians 13:5, where he states that Christ does not live in any who “fail the test” (Greek adokimoi). Paul is not referring only to the loss of reward for ministry. What he recognizes is the possibility that he may fail altogether to get the prize (the inheritance of eternal salvation Verse 24-25) if he should stop living a disciplined and holy life. Such a life is characterized by moral and spiritual purity, integrity, separation from evil and complete dedication to God. Finishing the race (remaining faithful to Christ throughout life) and winning the prize of eternal life with God requires exercising self-control and working through hardships for Christ (Verse 25-27).
