“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3: 13-14 (New King James Version)
I had a dream of a man crying that his wife and son had drowned and he could not save them from drowing and they were lost right before his very eyes. The man had a strained relationship with his family. He had backslidden , while his wife and son were not saved/backslidden. And now he sheds tears which cannot change anything though. Two souls of loved ones lost in enternal death and torment.
Being believers in Christ our Lord we need to remember a very important principle .. ‘forget those things which are behind and reach forward to the goal’. There are some us who hold on to past hurts and bitter experiences and hence don’t reach forward. There are some who hold on to past glory and hence don’t reach forward. And there are also some of us who are so caught up with current things of the world that we don’t even try to go forward and press on.
Christ has made us His own. And we are to press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
How are we going to run ? Run and press on towards eternal life ? Or let sin snare us and be lost in eternal death ?
There are people all around who are right now very close to spending eternity in hell. What are we going to do ?
God Bless
