Paul exhorted the church at Phillipi to have their foremost identify, not as a citizen of Rome, but as a citizen of heaven. We are citizens of a heavenly homeland, on our pilgrimage and journey to the celestial city. Let us set our affections on things above, on that heavenly city, and on the King of kings, and Lord of lords.

To forget those things behind and press forth until Christ which is before us. Let us forget those things behind us and apprehend Jesus Christ!

As we consider faithful sayings and worthy of all acceptation, we study that Christ came into the world to save sinners. He didn’t come to offer salvation to save good people, but he came to save sinners who were dead in trespasses and sins before grace. And we all should feel to be the chiefest of sinners by the conviction of the Holy Ghost. Praise God for amazing grace that saved a wretched sinner like me!
