Pressing On!
Philippians 3:7-14
Main Point:
We must press on to know Jesus Christ fully and to fulfill the purpose God has for our lives.
‘Know’ = to experience the transforming reality of Jesus Christ.
Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ?
Do you know the purpose He has for your life?
1. We consider all things a loss compared to knowing Christ Jesus as Lord.
(verses 7-8)
‘Rubbish’ = Manure/dung!
*‘Put no confidence in our flesh’ (verse 4) = our abilities,accomplishments & achievements
2. We forget what is behind.(including our failures!)
(verse 13)
3. We strain ahead and press on toward the goal.
(verses 12-14)
*We have a right account of ourselves.
(verse 12)
Galatians 6:3-5
Don’t give up, Don’t give in – Press on!
