LIVING OUT YOUR DESTINY: PRESSING TOWARD YOUR DESTINY (PHIL. 3:13-14)

VIVIENDO TU DESTINO: PRESIONANDO HACIA TU DESTINO (FILIPENSES 3:13-14)

Pastor Maria Khaleel

Paul was not living life haphazardly. He was living out his destiny with intentionality. He uses the imagery of an Olympic runner competing for the prize to illustrate the concept of destiny. The goal of our life ultimately, as Paul describes it, is to know Christ – it is all about our relationship with Christ. It is becoming like Christ, serving Christ, leading others to Christ, fulling Christ’s purpose for our lives and bringing glory to Christ. That will find a different expression in each of our lives, as God has a specific calling and course or destiny for each of us. However, in this passage Paul identifies several principles that will enable us to live out our destiny fully.
