Philippians 3:12-16 King James Version (KJV)
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Philippians 3:12-16
YLT 12 Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus; 13 brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing—the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth— 14 to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 As many, therefore, as are perfect—let us think this, and if in anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you, 16 but to what we have come—by the same rule walk, the same thing think;
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
12 We are not perfect and will never be perfect but we serve a Lord who is perfect and we should do all that we can with the power that He gives us to be like Him. We should be growing in Him and in time we and other should see the change He is doing in us.
13 We can not let our past stop us from doing what the Lord wants of us, this does not mean we won’t have to answer to man for what we do but if the Lord has forgiven us then we should be able to forgive ourselves and praise Him for getting us past our past.
14 We are all heading as believers to the finish line where our Lord waits for us to go home, He is running the race with us the entire time as well, the end in glory, which is truly not the end but the start. The Lord has called all of us for something.
15 We should argue of small things if we are of God then nothing should divide us, if we have division we should hand it over to the Lord for Him to fix, God can give understanding to those who seek Him.
16 We do not need to go in reverse but often times people backslide and have but they often times just have to go back to Him, few times they have to regrow, God will never allow His own to go beyond His reach and go to a place where He can not bring them back.
