Trading Religion for Relationship
Philippians 3:12-16
What steps does Paul give for growing into a mature Christian?
1) Develop a holy discontentment. (vs. 12-13)
- It's not about guilt or shame, but hunger.
Matthew 5:6, Psalm 42:1-2
- It's not being "spiritually insecure" - it's being "spiritually unsatisfied."
2) Let go of what's behind you, anything that would rob your current spiritual pursuit. (vs. 13)
- Two traps that we can fall into:
- Don't live off yesterday's victories. Spiritual nostalgia can keep us from present obedience.
- Don't let the regrets of the past hinder you.
1 Timothy 1:12-16
3) Keep striving and pressing forward to reach the goal. (vs. 13-14)
- Live out a Finish Line Faith!
1 Timothy 4:7b-10
4) Align your life with the truth you already know. (vs. 15-16)
James 1:22
