Presentation transcript:

 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. 25 and everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; 27 but I buffet my body and make it my slave, lest possibly, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified. 1Cor. 9:24-27

 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but ONLY ONE RECEIVES THE PRIZE? RUN IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU MAY WIN. 25 And everyone who competes in the games EXERCISES SELF-CONTROL in all things. They then do it TO RECEIVE A PERISHABLE WREATH, but WE AN IMPERISHABLE. 26 Therefore I RUN IN SUCH A WAY, as NOT WITHOUT AIM; I BOX IN SUCH A WAY, as NOT BEATING THE AIR; 27 but I BUFFET MY BODY AND MAKE IT MY SLAVE, lest possibly, after I have preached to others, I MYSELF SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED. 1Cor. 9:24-27

virtue excellence of achievement mastery  To compete in the games, one needs virtue to lead them to excellence of achievement and mastery. virtue  Only virtue will make the necessary sacrifices.  Yet great desire leads nowhere without a good coach to train and guide them (knowledge)  Virtue  Virtue and knowledge prepare for success, But to make it happen one must have self-control!  Without self-control, the hours of necessary training will never happen. virtue  Those who want to win (virtue) and know how to win(knowledge), still must push beyond what others will endure (self-control) to win the race.

VIRTUE  We must do the same. VIRTUE and KNOWLEDGE always need SELF-CONTROL to progress VIRTUE  Without SELF-CONTROL, VIRTUE and KNOWLEDGE will never reach a goal.  VIRTUE  VIRTUE compels and motivates us to learn all we can about good and evil.  Through KNOWLEDGE the Spirit revealed them “to those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” (Heb. 5:14).  After we “test all things;” we can’t “hold fast what is good,” and “abstain from every form of evil” (1Th. 5:21-22), without SELF-CONTROL.

 “ egkrates, having power over, possessed of (a thing), mastering, controlling, curbing, restraining,... controlling one’s self, temperate...” (Thayer, p 167; 1466)  “ egkrates... denotes power or lordship and which expresses the power or lordship which one has either over oneself or over something... having power in oneself,...It thus means “to have power or dominion...” i.e., “to be inwardly strong.” (Kittel, 1466)

 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. 1Cor 10:13  Each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed Jas. 1:14

 MasteringControlling  curbing Restraining  Power or Lordship in oneself  Power or Dominion within  God always makes the way of escape  All Temptation comes when we are drawn away.

 A human proverb – not in Scripture  We are created in image and likeness of God. Gen 1:26-27  Partakers of the divine nature 2Pet. 1:5  Jesus as a man endured all temptation  For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Heb 4:14-16

 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. Rom. 6:12-14

 Rom 8:12-13 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: 13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.  27 but I buffet my body and make it my slave, lest possibly, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.1Cor 9:25

 Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” Lk. 9:23  “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple” Lk. 14:27  Deny Ourselves: Exercising Self-Control  For this Jesus gave each of us a cross.

Before the Cross had any religious significance what did it mean?  Without a cross one “cannot be My disciple,” for “he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me” Mt. 10:38.  Therefore, “if anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross” Mt. 16:24-25  NOTE: Jesus never told His disciples to carry “My cross.” He said each disciple must take up “his own cross.”  Jesus used Rome’s cross as a spiritual parable.  It is one of the “weapons of our warfare” (2Cor. 10:3-6).

 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” Gal. 2:20  “those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” Gal. 5:24  Jesus expected us to suffer agony in self-denial.  We use our cross until the temptation is dead  It is excruciating to kill our own will and submit.  This is why we need the cross daily!  Self-control is painful, but nailed to our cross, with no choice but to remain there, we endure.

 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, 7 in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. 8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, Col. 3:5-9

 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, Titus 2:11-12  for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Rom. 8:13

 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. 2 Tim. 2:19-21
