In Philippians 3:13-14 it says,
"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended;
but one thing 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."
God clearly tells us to forget our past and to press forward onto Him. Until our final breath here on this earth, we should continually have our hearts and eyes fixed on Him.
If we keep dwelling on the past and clinging to our regrets, we lose our zeal and love for Christ. When we choose to live in the past, it will only hold us back and be a snare to us. It will drag us down and keep us stagnant and ineffective in our walk with Christ.
Instead, God's word tells us to reach forward to those things which are ahead. We need to constantly and fervently fix our eyes on the King. We should never lose sight of the finish line, for Christ is our ultimate goal.
Pressing toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of Christ will be my forever goal as long as I am living in this world. Christ is worth it all as I reach forward onto Him!
