SPIRITUAL OBJECTIVES 6

To Receive The Greatest Reward

Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Paul explains his reason for wanting to be more like Christ. There is a great prize or reward for those who run this race. We really can not imagine how great and wonderful this reward will by but I know it will be outstanding!

When we do God's work we always receive God's pay. It might not seem like we are doing all that well by the world's standards but the worlds standards are temporary. Gods rewards are eternal.

I hope these devotionals have helped you evaluate where you are, and where you want to be in your relationship with Christ. Set your goals and objectives and get ready to run that race.

SPIRITUAL OBJECTIVES 4

Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

To Receive The Greatest Revelation

Paul wanted to intimately know Jesus. He wanted to experience the power of His resurrection. I believe we need to all experience that and realize that we are to become new creatures in Christ. All things are to become new. Through Christ we have overcome death, hell, and the grave. There is truly great power in the resurrection and we should set a goal to experience it.

We need to be reminded of His suffering and how great a price was paid for our salvation. As Paul did, we need to die to the world and live for Christ.

What are you doing to set new spiritual goals?

SPIRITUAL OBJECTIVES 3

Philippians 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

To Receive The Greatest Righteousness

As Paul we can not be satisfied with our own righteousness. It can never he enough. Man's righteousness will never measure up,

We need the righteousness of Jesus, the obedient Son. It is the righteousness of perfection that only he can achieve.

We might be just as good as someone else but we are also just as bad. None of us are just as good as Jesus. That is why we should set our goal as trying to be as much like Him as possible.

Make your objective to achieve the righteousness of Christ, through faith in God.

To Receive The Greatest Relationship

"and be found in Him "

Salvation is positional. When we receive Christ as our Lord and Savior He is in us and we are in Him. Nothing can change that.

Our fellowship is relational however. I guess the best way to explain that is that when you are born again into God's family you can not be unborn. Just as my children will always be my children no matter what.

Their actions do have a bearing on our relationship. I will always love them and hope they will always love me. I have always had a close relationship with both my children. I would be less than honest if I didn't admit that sometimes that relationship was a bit strained. I still loved them but there is a love that is pleasant and a love that sometimes hurts. I think sometimes Jesus loves us with a love that hurts Him because we have put a strain on our relationship with Him.

Set as on objective having a relationship that brings pleasure to both you and Jesus.
