The High Calling

Philippians 3:13,14  Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

If you think you've arrived spiritually, you'll cease to grow in The Lord. When you're willing to admit that there are areas where you need to grow, that's a sign of a maturing Christian.

Paul had every reason to crow about his Christian life, but he was still working towards the ultimate goal--Perfect Christ-likeness!

Don't let your failures cause you to stop growing in Christ. If you've fallen; get up, dust yourself off, and get back in the race. Daily Bible reading is required here.

Are you stuck on salvation? Jesus saved you for a purpose. Get at His feet and find out why He laid hold on your life. Then pursue that with all your heart.
