Saved people are running a race.
Hebrews 12:1 KJV
[1] …let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
You must start any race at the beginning. Not in the middle or at the finish line.
God revealed the beginning of this race.
Proverbs 1:7 KJV
[7] The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Matthew 22:37-38 KJV
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
The fear of the Lord leads to getting instruction, knowledge about Him. Which can take you to loving Him.
This is the only starting place. Most people who try to run this race start somewhere else…and fail.
