Philippians 3:13-14 ESV
“Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
In this passage from Paul’s letter to the church at Phillipi, he reminds us that the Christian life is not lived by clinging to past successes or being weighed down by past failures. Instead, we are called to release what lies behind and fix our hearts on Christ, pressing forward with purposeful faith. As we strain toward what lies ahead, our hope is anchored not in earthly achievement, but in God’s upward call in Christ Jesus—inviting us to live each day with perseverance, grace, and eternal focus.
