Paul began this letter confirming his credentials
Often we want to know what gives a person the authority to say what they are saying
Paul knew what he was talking about
Today we recognize that God’s Word is the authority
Too often even believers get their priorities mixed up
We want to put those earthly treasures up equal to God
What we do and how we live in this world does matter
The goal however is to do all things for Christ
Paul understands that the greatest things we gain in this world are nothing compared to Christ
Every day people are faced with the same decision the rich young ruler faced
Whom will you serve
Not having a righteousness of my own
Righteousness from God through Faith
Paul isn’t saying he has to work for His salvation but that He works because of it
“Not that I have already attained it”
“But I press on”
“The prize”
“The goal”
If you know Jesus today press on toward the goal of the prize
If you don’t know Him let me introduce you
