This one thing I Do Philippians 3:12-16 Nasb Photo by Zach Lucero on Unsplash

12Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Jesus Christ. 13 Brethren I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet, but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; 16 however, let us keep living by that same standard that we have attained.

Our lives are full of things we must do every day, but a fulfilled life is found in giving your life for a higher purpose. This One Thing I Do

This One Thing I Do The Promise Part of His Kingdom Prepared for His Return

14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus is calling us. 15 Let all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree in some point, I believe God will make it plain to you. 16but we must hold on to the progress we have made.

17 Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example. 18 For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 They are headed for

destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth. 20 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly awaiting for Him to return as our Savior.

21 He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like is own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under His control. Philippians 3:14-21 NLT
