[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 68813896, member: 293637"] In Philippians 3 the goal Paul refers to is this: "I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead." Philippians 3:10-11 Paul had not yet attained this for obvious reasons, the resurrection of the dead is still yet to come. So, quite obviously Paul had not yet reached that final goal because [I]no one will[/I] until Christ's Parousia at the end of the age (1 Corinthians 15:20-26). While we yet live in the mortality and corruptibility of this present life we have not reached the end goal, but are instead still running the race. But here and now we have confidence in the grace of God which is ours, freely, in Christ through faith of that future hope. That He who began a good work in us will continue that good work until the day of the Lord Jesus (Philippians 1:6). Because our salvation is both now and yet to come; both present and future. -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
