—Romans 2:4b-11

I have always been competitive. As a kid, this resulted in me doing anything I could to win games we were playing, including cheating. A common phrase that was said to me was “cheaters never prosper.” Even though people that pursue their own selfish desires and achievements may seem more successful in this world, we know that they will not receive the greatest reward: salvation and eternal life. While it may be tempting to live for the things of this world and try to climb your way to the top, our ultimate satisfaction is found in pursuing God and living by the examples He set out for us.
