Paul has just finished talking about the righteousness which
comes from God on the basis of faith.
In these verses, he comments on his current state, Imperfect,
and striving for a better conformity to Christ.
Paul says that he has to press on X2.
Why do you think he used the term “Press On”? This
denotes a challenging path, not an easy way.
Is the pursuit of righteousness easy? Why not?
Paul talks about looking ahead instead of looking behind.
How can looking back hinder us from pressing on toward the upward call of
Christ Jesus?
How can looking back help us in pressing on toward the upward
calling of Christ Jesus?
Forget our shortcomings and forgiven sin, Remember God’s
blessings and provision.
Paul talks about as many as are perfect (mature) have this
attitude.
Philippians 2:4-6 Have this attitude in yourselves which was
in Christ Jesus – Looking out for others.
