    What prize?

    Isn't a prize something that is given to a contestant in a competition, say to a prize-fighter? A reward for hard work?

    If Salvation is a gift from God, how do you earn a gift? Maybe the Bible is wrong, it's not a gift after all, it's a prize.

    Or is it now OK for JW's to take part in competetive sports for prize money?

    Most bewildering.

    the "prize" is the gift of everlasting life. A gift he chooses to give to those who follow him. Something God will give a person willingly and gladly when he earns it.
