Reaching the Finish Line Philippians 3:7-16

Philippians 3: But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ. 8.More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Because of Him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them filth, so that I may gain Christ 9.and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law, but one that is through faith in Christthe righteousness from God based on faith.

10. My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11. assuming that I will somehow reach the resurrection from among the dead. 12. Not that I have already reached the goal or am already fully mature, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus. 13. Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead,

14. I pursue as my goal the prize promised by Gods heavenly call in Christ Jesus. 15. Therefore, all who are mature should think this way. And if you think differently about anything, God will reveal this to you also. 16. In any case, we should live up to whatever truth we have attained. Holman Christian Standard Bible
