Keep moving forward towards God

holy bible book,

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 every 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, too.
Philippians 3:17

18 Many people live like enemies of the cross of Christ. I have told you many times about such people. 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

Spiritual treasure in clay pots

holy bible book,

1 God gave us this work by His grace. So we will not lose heart.
2 Corinthians 4: 1

2 But we have passed through secret and shameful ways, we do not use cunning, nor do we change the word of God. No We clearly preach the truth. In this way, we show people who we are. That they may know in their hearts what kind of man we are in the sight of God.
2 Corinthians 4: 2

3 The good news we preach is hidden. But it is hidden only from those who are lost.
2 Corinthians 4: 3

4 The Lord of this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe. They cannot see the light of the gospel, the gospel of the glory of Christ. There is only Christ who is exactly like God.
2 Corinthians 4: 4

5 We do not preach ourselves. But we preach that Jesus Christ is Lord. And we preach that we are your servants for Jesus.
2 Corinthians 4: 5

6 God once said, “Let the light shine out of darkness.” And this is the same God who has given light to our hearts. He made known to us the glory of God, who is Christ, and gave it to us.
2 Corinthians 4: 6

7 We have this treasure from God. But we are just like those clay pots in which the treasure is stored. It is clear that this great power is not from us but from God.
2 Corinthians 4: 7

8 We are surrounded by difficulties, but we are not defeated. Most of the time we don’t know what to do but we don’t give up.
2 Corinthians 4: 8

9 We are persecuted, but God does not forsake us. Sometimes we are thrown down but we are never destroyed.
2 Corinthians 4: 9

10 The mother of Jesus is in our body, and wherever we go, we always carry this death with us, so that the life of Jesus may be shown in our bodies.
2 Corinthians 4:10

11 We live, but for Jesus we all live in danger of death. This happens to us so that Jesus’ life can be seen in our dying bodies.
2 Corinthians 4:11

12 That is why death is working in us, but life is working in you.
2 Corinthians 4:12

13 It is written in the Scriptures; “Because I believed, I spoke.” Our faith is similar. We believe and that is why we speak.
2 Corinthians 4:13

14 God raised the Lord Jesus from the dead. And we know that God will raise us up along with Jesus. God will bring us with you. We will stand before him.
2 Corinthians 4:14

15 All these things are for you. That is why God’s grace has been given to as many people as possible. So much thanks be to God for his glory.
2 Corinthians 4:15
