I Have Yet Attained, but I Press On



We are all in some way without flaw.  No perfect human being exist on this earth.  Jesus is our perfect example of truth, love and compassion for all men.  Paul admits himself he is not perfect nor sinless. Christians should seek to have an attitude of holiness and obedience.  We are all a working progress.  Yes, we have not arrived. 


“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.”    Philippians 3:12 (NIV)


What this means to believers of the resurrection of Christ is simply focus on Christ.  Jesus Christ was our life saver and immediate covering that gave us the privilege to enter into heaven.  No one who walked this earth could have done it but JESUS CHRIST. Seek Christ and follow him completely.  The path has been set for you, trust the Lord and go forth.  There will be struggles and difficult times you must endure, but Christ is there.  Let Christ lead you and Go!

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."   Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)

Have you decided to follow Jesus?  His death and resurrection was for you.  Believers have no reason to not trust the Word of God and strive to be like Christ.  It is true we are still attempting to be more like Christ. Saints be humble and listen.  Wait on God and watch what He will do.  Lighten your cross with Christ and press on to a better life.  Jesus knows. There is peace, hope and help for us all.  God is still in control.  What will you do?  He has called, will you answer?

Always remember: Our God is FAITHFUL!  Who will you TRUST


Stay Focused and Be Blessed!
