One motive, one goal

Philippians 3:3-16

1. What was Paul's goal?

One thing Paul does: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called him heavenward in Christ Jesus.

All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

Hebrews 12:1

2. Define perserverance.

Perseverance is to throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
