Press on for the Prize

Philippians 3

Paul reminds us that all the things we may have amassed in life, all the things that may seem precious and give us regard in the eyes of men are nothing compared to truly knowing Christ. Knowing him not just in salvation, but also in deep fellowship. So that pursuit caused Paul to press on and so should we. There is always room for growth in our relationship with Jesus, never become satisfied but always be content.

Philippians 4
