Forgetting what is behind...

Philipians 3:13-14
"...but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Paul said through the Holy Spirit that he did one thing.  He said he forgot everything in the past and behind him and strained toward Jesus.
If we are to be saved we must give up everything and have finding Jesus be our only goal.
Jesus said, "you will find me when you seek me, when you seek me with all your heart".  And I would add, seek with everything and don't give up.
We must first of all make sure we have Jesus.
The Bible says the Lord (Jesus) and the Spirit are one.
"Make your calling and election sure." II Peter 1:10
"Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith."
II Corinthians 13:5
As Jesus said, "Ask, seek, and knock..."
Matthew 7 and Luke 11
Our Primary concern is Jesus.
We first must ensure our radical conversion.

If we are saved then we still follow this verse.
We forget the past and press on toward the prize of God's high call in Christ Jesus.
The prize is in Jesus.
The prize we are fighting for.
Jesus is the goal.
Jesus is the prize.
We fight and walk by faith to find Jesus and give Him our life to get Him and be united to Him.
And then we live for Him with our eyes on the prize of finally seeing Him face to face!

Bottom Line:
Forget everything.  Find Jesus.  Give Him your life.  Make sure it worked (atom bomb like experience).
Look forward to seeing Him in person!

Forget everything, remember Jesus.

Hebrews 12:2
 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
