Yes,those in the race for everlasting life are similar to hikers,the must be alert to pitfalls like materialism,sexual immorality,independent thinking and overconfidience,they need regular supply of spiritual food by personally studying the bible and meditating on it. Like a hiker who needs a relyable compass for direction,we likewise need guidance from God's word the bible. We know that the road to everlasting life is rough,we may fall so like a hiker we need to brace up and get into the race again.We also need to appreciate every spiritual blessing that comes our way like the provisions from the faithful and discreet slave class etc. Then consider the joy it will bring us when we are finally able to reach the promise new world..oh what a joy it is to immitate a good hiker as we pursue righteouseness.
