Forget the Mistake. Remember the Lesson.

Philippians 3:12-16

Forward in Christ.

12. It is not that I have already taken hold of it or have already attained perfect maturity, but I continue my pursuit in hope that I may possess it, since I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus]. 13. Brothers, I for my part do not consider myself to have taken possession. Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead, 14. I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God’s upward calling, in Christ Jesus. 15. Let us, then, who are “perfectly mature” adopt this attitude. And if you have a different attitude, this too God will reveal to you. 16. Only, with regard to what we have attained, continue on the same course.
