The notion of a prize is frequently used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe the spiritual rewards that await those who faithfully follow Christ.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/philippians/3-14.htm">Philippians 3:14</a></b> &#183; The Apostle Paul writes, "I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God&#8217;s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus." Here, Paul likens the Christian life to a race, where the ultimate prize is the fulfillment of God's calling and the eternal life promised through Jesus Christ. This passage emphasizes the importance of perseverance and dedication in the Christian journey.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/1_corinthians/9-24.htm">1 Corinthians 9:24-25</a></b> &#183; Paul again uses the metaphor of a race, stating, "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize. Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable." This passage highlights the discipline and commitment required in the Christian life, contrasting the temporary rewards of earthly endeavors with the eternal prize of salvation.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/2_timothy/4-7.htm">2 Timothy 4:7-8</a></b> &#183; Paul reflects on his life and ministry, saying, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day&#8212;and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing." The "crown of righteousness" is depicted as a prize awarded by God to those who have remained faithful, underscoring the hope of eternal reward for believers.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>While the specific term "prize" is not commonly used in the Old Testament, the concept of reward for faithfulness is prevalent. The Hebrew Scriptures often speak of blessings and rewards for those who obey God's commandments and live righteously. For example, in <a href="/proverbs/11-18.htm">Proverbs 11:18</a>, it is written, "The wicked man earns an empty wage, but he who sows righteousness reaps a true reward." This reflects the principle that God honors and rewards those who live according to His will.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The idea of a prize in the biblical context serves as a powerful motivator for believers, encouraging them to remain steadfast in their faith despite trials and challenges. It underscores the Christian belief in eternal life and the hope of resurrection, which are central tenets of the faith. The prize is not earned through human effort alone but is a gift of grace, attainable through faith in Jesus Christ and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>For Christians, the pursuit of the prize involves a life of discipleship, characterized by spiritual growth, moral integrity, and active participation in the mission of the Church. It calls for a focus on eternal values rather than temporary, worldly gains. Believers are encouraged to "fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith" (<a href="/hebrews/12-2.htm">Hebrews 12:2</a>), as they run the race set before them, with the assurance that their labor in the Lord is not in vain (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-58.htm">1 Corinthians 15:58</a>).<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Used literally in <a href="/1_corinthians/9-24.htm">1 Corinthians 9:24</a>, and figuratively of the heavenly reward for Christian character in <a href="/philippians/3-14.htm">Philippians 3:14</a>.<br><br>(2) harpagmos, in the English Revised Version of <a href="/philippians/2-6.htm">Philippians 2:6</a>, "counted it not a prize to be on an equality with God." The termination -uos, -mos, would lead us to expect the active sense: "an act of grasping," "plundering" (the King James Version "robbery"), which would imply that Christ did not deem it an act of usurpation to claim equality with God, for such equality was His inherent right. But the context demands a reference "not to the right which He claimed, but to the dignity which He renounced" (Lightfoot); hence, the majority of modern expositors take the word in a passive sense (= harpagma): "a thing to be seized, prized, retained at all costs as a booty" (the English Revised Version "a prize," the American Standard Revised Version "a thing to be grasped"), implying that Christ did not regard equality with God as a thing to be clutched greedily, but waived His rights (see Lightfoot on <a href="/philippians/2-6.htm">Philippians 2:6</a>).
