The Victor's Crown







"Isn’t it obvious that all runners on the racetrack keep on running to win, but only one 
receives the victor’s prize? Yet each one of you must run the race to be victorious. A true 
athlete will be disciplined in every respect, practicing constant self-control in order to win a laurel wreath that quickly withers. But we run our race to win a victor’s crown that will last 
forever. For that reason, I don’t run just for exercise or box like one throwing aimless 
punches, but I train like a champion athlete. I subdue my body and get it under my control, 
so that after preaching the good news to others I myself won’t be disqualified."

1 Corinthians 9:24‭-‬27 TPT

"Then God planted a garden in Eden, in the east. He put the Man he had just made in it. God made all kinds of trees grow from the ground, trees beautiful to look at and good to eat. The Tree-of-Life was in the middle of the garden, also the Tree-of-Knowledge-of-Good-and-Evil. A river flows out of Eden to water the garden and from there divides into four rivers." Genesis 2:8‭-‬10 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/gen.2.8-10.MSG The Extraordinary Creator did not restricts us from eating from the Tree of Life. Jesus Christ is the Truth, the Way and The Life.  We are invited every day to come and eat from the Tree of Life.  God especially planted, the garden in the east of Eden, where He put Adam.  The garden gave sustenance and freedom in the original identity of man.
