The Upward Call of God

"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. 

There is oh so much more in these two verses!  They are rich with how we should feel about ourselves, where we have been and where we are going while here on earth. It also focuses on how we are to carry out God's plan for our lives here on earth. 

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
