Philippians 3:12-14 (MSG)
I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back.
REACH
Christianity is really more about reaching than it is preaching.
Reaching...started when God reached out for us!
Romans 5:6, 8
God was also reaching down for us when his Holy Spirit began to deal with our hearts!
So God reached down for us. Our proper response is to reach back just like we love him because he first loved us, we reach up to Him because he first reached down for us!
