God will give a prize that lasts forever!

"Some people are good at sports. They have to work hard to be strong. They have to work hard to be fast. They want to win the race. They want to win the game. they want to get a prize. Life is like a race. If we keep on trusting in Jesus, we will win a prize. If we keep on doing what is right, we will win a prize. A runner just gets a trophy. The trophy will get old. It will not keep on being beautiful. But God will give a prize that lasts forever. God will give eternal life. We can live with God in heaven forever"
(1 Corinthians 9:25, The B-I-B-L-E).

You need to be ready for Jesus to come back

"Jesus said, 'Listen! Pay attention! I will come back all of a sudden. Robbers come all of a sudden. No one knows that they are coming. I will come all of a sudden too. You need to always be ready for me to come back. You need to always think that I could come that day. Be careful about how you live. Always be ready for me to come. If you do bad things, you will be sad when I come back. If you do bad things, you will want to hide when I come back'"
(Revelation 16:15, The B-I-B-L-E).

"I came for people who know that they are far away from God."

"Jesus said, 'Sick people need a doctor. People who are well do not need a doctor.' I will tell you what that means. Jesus talked about sick people. That means people who know that they are far away from God. Jesus is like the doctor. Some people knew that they were far away from God. They knew that they were sinners. They came to Jesus to get right with God....'Some people think that they are good. I did not come for them. I came for people who know that they are far away from God. I came for people who know that they are sinners. I came to tell them to stop doing bad things. I came to tell them to trust in me'"
(Matthew 9:12-13, The B-I-B-L-E).
