Pressing According to Pattern
Philippians 3:12,17-19 - “Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me…17 Brethren, join in following my examples, and note those who walk, as you have us for a pattern.
For many walk, of whom I have told you often and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame - who set their mind on earthly things.”
> The upward call of God, which is the highest calling any man can receive is: to be conformed to the image and likeness of His Son Jesus Christ, mature sons whom He can trust with His affairs and eternal Kingdom.
