Bobby McDonald - Philippians 3:12 - 16
Summary
Paul compares the Christian life to a race, emphasizing that the goal is not merely salvation, but the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus. He urges believers to maintain this zealous pursuit of knowing God, suggesting that true seeking involves dedicating oneself wholeheartedly to drawing closer to Jesus, rather than adhering to specific religious actions. The central message is to make knowing God the ultimate priority in life.
Description
Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning member of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)
