Philippians 3:12-14
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
- I'm NOT there yet!
- Don't get hung up on the PAST
- "Strain toward", "Press on toward" = actively pursuing the goal, not sitting back waiting for something to happen!
Philippians 3:16
Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
Does my life reflect salvation, redemption, righteousness, peace, joy, and an active pursuit of Christ and Heaven?
Philippians 3:17
Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.
Don't do it alone! Find others to join together with, both peers AND mentors.
