I am pressing on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. How about you?

My brothers and sisters in Christ, I am not perfect, I would be the first to tell you of where I have been and what I have done, I am not ashamed or afraid, but one thing I am confident of, is this, I am willing to leave it all behind me, and strain forward to what lies ahead of me, because anything I gained in my sinful state I will count as loss for the sake of Christ and press on toward the goal, for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Since I have come to know Christ as my Lord, I will gladly suffer the loss of all things for His sake. How about you?
