Philippians 3:13 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before”
The call of God draws a line between our past and our present life. The past life was characterised by sin, whiles the new life is characterised by the righteousness and holiness from our Lord.
In Ephesians 4:18, the Bible describes the old life or the past life as having one’s understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through ignorance. Not only that, it is fully governed by selfishness and carnality. On the other hand, the salvation of God which comes by grace through faith sets us apart. It makes us noble and brings us dignity.
As a Christian, to move forward in life, you must let go of the past. In fact, you must not be driven by guilt or give yourself to the old sinful life. Focus on the new life, focus on the things ahead- the plans and purpose of God for your life.
The call of God is a high calling. Whether it is a call to serve in the ministry or a call to be in Christ, you need to let go of the past and flow with the new “life”, “vision” and “plans” that the Lord brings.
Read: Philippians 3:12 “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me”
