Philippians 3:12–3:16 “Pressing On”

Details

Passage: Philippians 3:12–3:16

12Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, sGod will reveal that also to you. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained.

Intro:
Repeats 2 things: He has not attained perfection. He must press on. This will guide the passage.

Outro:
