FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND

FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND

Luke 9:62 

And Jesus Said Unto Him, No Man, Having Put His Hand To The Plough, And Looking Back, Is Fit For The Kingdom Of God.

Luke 17:32 

Remember Lot's Wife.

Philippians 3:13-15

Brethren, I Count Not Myself To Have Apprehended: But This One Thing I Do, Forgetting Those Things Which Are Behind, And Reaching Forth Unto Those Things Which Are Before, I Press Toward The Mark For The Prize Of The High Calling Of God In Christ Jesus. Let Us Therefore, As Many As Be Perfect, Be Thus Minded: And If In Any Thing Ye Be Otherwise Minded, God Shall Reveal Even This Unto You.

Hebrews 10:22-24 

Let Us Draw Near With A True Heart In Full Assurance Of Faith, Having Our Hearts Sprinkled From An Evil Conscience, And Our Bodies Washed With Pure Water. Let Us Hold Fast The Profession Of Our Faith Without Wavering; (For He Is Faithful That Promised;) And Let Us Consider One Another To Provoke Unto Love And To Good Works:

2 Timothy 1:11-14

Whereunto I Am Appointed A Preacher, And An Apostle, And A Teacher Of The Gentiles. For The Which Cause I Also Suffer These Things: Nevertheless I Am Not Ashamed: For I Know Whom I Have Believed, And Am Persuaded That He Is Able To Keep That Which I Have Committed Unto Him Against That Day. Hold Fast The Form Of Sound Words, Which Thou Hast Heard Of Me, In Faith And Love Which Is In Christ Jesus. That Good Thing Which Was Committed Unto Thee Keep By The Holy Ghost Which Dwelleth In Us.

2 Timothy 3:14 

But Continue Thou In The Things Which Thou Hast Learned And Hast Been Assured Of, Knowing Of Whom Thou Hast Learned Them;

Ephesians 4:14-15

That We Henceforth Be No More Children, Tossed To And Fro, And Carried About With Every Wind Of Doctrine, By The Sleight Of Men, And Cunning Craftiness, Whereby They Lie In Wait To Deceive; But Speaking The Truth In Love, May Grow Up Into Him In All Things, Which Is The Head, Even Christ. 

Holidays are a time to be thankful for your many Blessing in this life and the one that is to come. 

Holidays are also a time of reminiscing and thinking about fond, funny, or even sad memories. 

Let me just say that these memories can also strengthen your fondness for this world, and strengthen the world's hold on you. Remembering the past makes your heart and mind go there like it was yesterday. I know who I was before Salvation, and I know who is am today, I don't want to go back there again. I want to forget those things which are behind and reach forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. I also want everyone I know to go with me, I don't want to be stuck in the past. You may never talk to your family and friends again, what do you want them to know about you today? 

Christians Know The Now, And The Future Is About Life And Death, It Is Not In The Fondness Of The Past. 

1 Corinthians 15:57-58 

But Thanks Be To God, Which Giveth Us The Victory Through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, My Beloved Brethren, Be Ye Stedfast, Unmoveable, Always Abounding In The Work Of The Lord, Forasmuch As Ye Know That Your Labour Is Not In Vain In The Lord
