15我们在基督里的信徒,都已借信接受了祂的救恩,这是一定永定的。但我们将来能否得主的赏赐,乃在于我们如何奔跑赛程。在林前九章,保罗正在场上奔跑;在他晚期的一封书信—腓立比书—里,他还在奔跑(三14);直到提后四章六至八节,他奔跑到了最后一刻,才有把握会在主显现时得祂的赏赐。在这赏赐的光中,保罗嘱咐信徒要跑这一场赛跑,使他们能得着赏赐,奖赏,就是不能坏的华冠。……在林前九章二十六节上半,保罗说,“所以我这样奔跑,不像无定向的。”保罗奔跑赛程不是无定向的,乃是前面有确定的目标。今天我们奔跑赛程必须有确定的目标;我们不该无定向地奔跑。 15We, the believers in Christ, have all received His salvation through faith in Him. This has been settled once for all. But whether we shall be rewarded by the Lord depends on how we run the race. In 1 Corinthians 9 Paul was running the race. In Philippians, one of his last Epistles, he was still running (3:14). It was not until the last moment of his running, in 2 Timothy 4:68, that Paul had the assurance that he would be rewarded by the Lord at His coming. With this reward in view, Paul charged the believers to run the race so that they may obtain the reward, the prize, an incorruptible crown. In 1 Corinthians 9:26a Paul says, “I therefore run in this way, not as though without a clear aim.” Paul did not run the race uncertainly but with a definite goal in view. Today we must run the race with a definite goal; we should not run uncertainly.
