Connecting to others through the love of God.I command you to love each other in the same way that I love you.And here is how to measure it--the greatest love is shown when people lay down their lives for their friends. John 15:12-13 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; [fn] but if I didn't love others, I would be of no value whatsoever. Love will last forever, but prophecy and speaking in unknown languages [fn] and special knowledge will all disappear. 1 Cor. 13

But [like a boxer] I buffet my body [handle it roughly, discipline it by hardships] and subdue it, for fear that after proclaiming to others the Gospel and things pertaining to it, I myself should become unfit [not stand the test, be unapproved and rejected as a counterfeit]. I Cor. 9:27
It is easy to leave unpleasant tasks for later. But God wants His people to finish the race that He sets before them to run (see 2 Timothy 4:7). Don't be afraid to do what seems to be hard. God will anoint you to do whatever He tells you to do.
Paul spoke of htis race for the sake of the gospel in I Cor. 9:23-26: "So run [your race] that you may lay hold [of the prize] and make it yours." He said to run with definite aim, and to discipline yourself to finish the race. Grace will make winning easier than you imagined.
