Scripture: Philippians 3:12-16
SHOW NOTES:
As we begin today’s passage, remember that Paul is not looking at his Damascus Road conversion and saying, “I’ve arrived.” For Paul and each of us, the spiritual life is a journey, and we should seek to progress in our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We want to know Him better.
Not 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.
– Philippians 3:12
Progress, not perfection. Paul encourages us to “press on.” We have not yet attained perfection. We will be spiritually perfected only when we are promoted to heaven.
Many of us are familiar with this famous quote –
“I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am.”
– John Newton
May this song encourage you in your daily walk with God.
