Brethren, I do not consider myself to have apprehended, but this is what I do: I forget what is behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. (Philippians 3:13)
A year Bible reading:
numbers 5-6
Boasts the Past - Most people love to boast of their success in the past. Whenever there is an opportunity, they will proudly tell anyone he encountered. How did the audience respond? Bored!
Since his conversion, Paul worked for Christ. But Paul does not say that he has been perfect in knowing Christ. Its success in proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom of God does not make him arrogant. Paul continues to struggle in order to get to know Christ. He did not stop at one point success to then tell everyone he encountered, but forget all the success in the past to do better work again in the future. Paul keep himself from his achievements in the past did not make him feel satisfied, proud, and stopped for the satisfaction and pride.
Feeling satisfied with spiritual success in the past will make us stop learning to know God. If this happens, beware because it means we have come undone! Surely we can never achieve perfection in Jesus Christ, the Son of God that His existence is beyond all knowledge. Introduction of faith He will never reach perfection until we meet him later. Therefore, do not be satisfied with the past! Forget the past success, keep fighting in the knowledge of Him. Continue to work is the best story rather than simply leveraging something that has already passed. -EBL
No one is able to know Christ perfectly until the arrival of his second.
