Keep moving forward towards God

Uncategorized

12 I do not mean that I have already become exactly as God intended me to be. I haven’t reached the goal yet. But I am constantly struggling to reach that goal. That is why Christ Jesus made me his own.
Philippians 3:12

13 Brothers and sisters, I know that I have not yet reached my destination. But there is one thing I always do; I have forgotten the past and I am trying hard to reach the destination that is in front of me.
Philippians 3:13

14 I am constantly striving to reach the destination and win the prize for which God is calling us to heaven through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14

15 All of us who have grown up spiritually should think the same way. But if you do not agree with any of these, God will make it clear to you.
Philippians 3:15

16 In any case we must continue to walk in the path of truth that we have been following so far.
Philippians 3:16

17 Brothers and sisters, follow my example. Observe the people who follow our example closely. As we show you the way. Follow them.
Philippians 3:17

18 Many people live like enemies of the cross of Christ. I have told you about such people many times. And now as I talk about them, I start to cry.
Philippians 3:18

19 The way they live is the way that leads to destruction. Their hunger is their God. They are proud of the things they should be ashamed of. They think only of worldly things.
Philippians 3:19

20 But our homeland is in heaven. We are waiting for our Savior to come down from heaven. Our Savior is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 3:20

21 Christ will change our physical bodies like his glorious body. He will do this with the power by which he is able to control everything.
Philippians 3:21

There is no other good news

6 Not long ago, God called you to be his followers. God called you by the grace of Christ. But I am very surprised at you people because you are turning to a different gospel.
Galatians 1: 6

7 There is no other true gospel, but some people are putting you in a quandary. They want to change the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Galatians 1: 7

8 We preached the gospel to you. So if we ourselves or an angel from heaven preaches to you a different kind of gospel, you should reject it.
Galatians 1: 8

9 I have said this before, and now I say again that you have already accepted the true gospel. Anyone who tells you any other way of salvation should be condemned.
Galatians 1: 9

10 Do you now think that I am trying to get people to accept me? No God is the one I am trying to please. Am I trying to please people? If I wanted to please people, I would not be a servant of Jesus Christ.
Galatians 1:10

Paul’s Gratitude After Tragedy

3 Praise be to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God, our Father, is full of mercy. He is the God who comforts us in every way.
2 Corinthians 1: 3

4 He comforts us whenever we have a problem. So that we too may be able to comfort other people when they are in trouble. We give them the same comfort that God gives us.
2 Corinthians 1: 4

5 We became partakers of Christ’s many sufferings. In the same way, we find greater happiness through Christ.
2 Corinthians 1: 5

6 If we suffer, it is for our comfort and salvation. If we have comfort from you, it is for your comfort. It also makes us tolerant in our sufferings.
2 Corinthians 1: 6

7 We have strong hopes for you. We know that you share in our suffering. We also know that you share in our comforts.
2 Corinthians 1: 7

8 We want you to know, brothers and sisters, the trouble we have suffered in the land of Asia. We suffered a lot there. It was more than we could bear. We also gave up hope that we would live.
2 Corinthians 1: 8

9 We really thought in our hearts that we were sentenced to death. But this happened so that we would not believe in ourselves. This is so that we can have faith in God who raises people from the dead.
2 Corinthians 1: 9

10 God saved us from this terrible danger of death and He will save us again.
2 Corinthians 1:10

11 And you can help us with your prayers. Then many people will thank us that God blessed us with their prayers.
2 Corinthians 1:11
