The Prize in The Press

The Prize In The Press

(Phil 3:12-14)

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. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

1. Vs. 12, Conquer death, to attain life.

Ephesians 4:9-10New International Version (NIV)

9 (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions[a]? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)

Vs. 13, The choices in my in my in between.

Vs 14, I gained power through my press.

1 Corinthians 6:20New International Version (NIV)

20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
