Resolute & Rejoicing, Pt. 16 - Straining Toward the Goal (3:12-16)

As much as Paul knew Christ and the power of the resurrection, and shared in the sufferings of Christ, he also knew he had so much more to learn and grow in. So because Christ took ownership of his life, he desired to let go of the past, straining forward and toward the goal of the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Ultimately, we are called to maturity in our faith and grab a hold of what we've already received in Christ.
