#The simple race.

What does it mean to run the race of faith? The simple gospel reminds us that salvation comes through “Jesus PLUS nothing.” In Philippians 3:2-4, Paul warns against complicating the gospel with rules or works, as some early believers attempted by adding the law to faith.

Salvation is solely through Christ's finished work on the cross, which fulfilled the law and transformed our hearts. Like Abraham’s covenant, marked by circumcision, we are now under a new covenant through Christ’s shed blood. True freedom and lasting joy come from trusting wholly in Him, as our prize determines our race and our worship.
