Philippians 3:12-21
I have not yet received all these things. I have not yet reached my goal. Christ Jesus took hold of me so that I could reach that goal. So I keep pushing myself forward to reach it.Brothers and sisters, I don’t consider that I have taken hold of it yet. But here is the one thing I do. I forget what is behind me. I push hard toward what is ahead of me.I push myself forward toward the goal to win the prize. God has appointed me to win it. The heavenly prize is Christ Jesus himself.So all of us who are grown up in the faith should see things this way. Maybe you think differently about something. But God will make it clear to you.Only let us live up to what we have already reached.Brothers and sisters, join together in following my example. You have us as a model. So pay close attention to those who live as we do.I have told you these things many times before. Now I tell you again with tears in my eyes. Many people live like enemies of the cross of Christ.The only thing they have coming to them is death. Their stomach is their god. They brag about what they should be ashamed of. They think only about earthly things.But we are citizens of heaven. And we can hardly wait for a Savior from there. He is the Lord Jesus Christ.He has the power to bring everything under his control. By his power he will change our earthly bodies. They will become like his glorious body.
