"Brethern, 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 3:13-14
The emphasis here is Heaven and Jesus. Our prize, our reward is "The Upward Call of God", through or in Christ Jesus. You are either in Christ Jesus or in the world.

I Know I am not worthy of what He has done for me, but I also Know I was on His mind when He did it for me. I cannot explain how that took place, I just have faith that it has happened. "Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the son of God" I John 5:5
