Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
None of us has finished the ‘race’ to get to Heaven apart from those who has died and gone to be with Christ already.
We have our lives laid out in front of us and still have a whole lot to learn about God and of what Christ has already done for us – the example life He lived for us.
We do need to continue working toward being more like Jesus as we continue to live our lives just as He lived as a human being.
The closer we get the better things will be for everyone, not just us!
