Not all Christians enroll in this career. Most do not compete. Competition consists in accumulating treasure in heaven by serving on earth. Many accept Christ continue as if nothing. Others understand that they have accepted a great challenge of ineffable reward ... that they must strive and be courageous, that reality is the Kingdom and the earth vanishes, then they are dedicated to the truly important and obviate all other things, everything that the world offers, because they have a better goal, a secure future, the inspiration to be the first, the one that won the greatest reward, the winner. Everyone competes but not everyone wins. Opting for the first place is brave, after all, it is good to set high goals: better to want 10 and reach 6, than to want 6 and reach 3 ... better to want to be first, to strive and reach a position, than to continue without assessing the challenge, and arrive without reward. The thing is that most are not aware of this.
