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. Philippians 3.13

Even being born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, we cannot think that we have already reached everything that our Lord has prepared for us. The work of the new birth is complete with the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which is granted by the Lord with one purpose: so that we may know what He gives us freely. This happens at every step, at every moment, always by faith.

There is nothing worse than a saved person that understands his rights in Christ, knows that the Lord will attend everything he determines in the name of Jesus, but does not give the require attention to it. Acting in such a way, he equals himself to the followers of all other religions, that since they do not know the Word, they accept suffering as something natural in life. Know that your decision will make you victorious or defeated.

On the other hand, when the son of God learns what belongs to him in Christ, and by faith assumes it, he feels fulfilled, for he sees the divine hand operating powerfully in his favour. He starts walking as Jesus walked when He was in our midst. On the contrary, there is only frustration and unsolved problems. Due to the fact that they do not assume their place in Jesus, there are many that live in sin.

Apostle Paul affirmed that he proceeded to attain the reason for why he was arrested and put in chains for Christ Jesus. We are also united in the same mission. We must not walk by faith as if we did not have a destiny, for it was for this purpose that God revealed Himself for us. Our aim must always be success, victory. We must never allow laziness or any demon to hinder us from reaching our goal.

When He created the world, the Most High made what was perfect. However, even when sin entered our house, we have discovered so many amazing things that He created for our pleasure. Now, imagine what awaits for us in eternal life, where we will meet the Father in the same way as we are known by Him, and after millions of years discovering good things all the time, we will still be only in the beginning!

If you have been greatly used by the Lord, or greatly blessed, do not think that this is all that He can do for you. Do not let yourself by deceived by sin for nothing, for the enemy will do all he can to take you away from the eternal happiness that awaits for you in Christ Jesus. Those who do not go to Heaven will have an enormous loss.

What the saved ones will have for all eternity is indescribable. Thus, it is worth going through any suffering here in this world so that we may be with the Lord in the Kingdom of Heaven. It does not matter the kind of trial that we may have to face. Our mission is to proceed to reach the goal that we have in the Lord Jesus.

In Christ, with love,

Eternal Father! What a joy to know that we will share such glory for all eternity. We cannot be happy enough with the little that we have obtained. Truly, this little is already a lot; but in eternity, we will have millions of times more than what we have here.

I thank You for having thought so much about those who serve You, those who do not let themselves be taken by the tempter and are always at Your feet to accomplish Your will. It would be such a good thing if everyone understood that you have so much more for us, both now and in eternity.

Like Paul, I also want to proceed to obtain the goal, even if I might be in chains. I am connected to You so that I may be a blessing in this life. In the next life, I know that I will always be at Your side! Thank you for allowing me to know You and love You.
