Spiritual Goals
We must not be satisfied with the status quo. We must always try to improve who we are in Christ. God wants us to conform to the identity of His Son, Jesus (Romans 8:29). Jesus is the model. Paul wrote, “Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:12-14).
