Send us Fan MailPhilippians 3:10-11: that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share hissufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain theresurrection from the dead.Someone once said, “One of the most dangerous forms of human error is forgetting what one istrying to achieve.” And saints, that danger is real in the Christian life. It is easy—far too easy—toget distracted, to get busy, to get religious, and yet forget the very thing we’re supposed to beaiming at.So, what is the goal of the Christian life? Paul answers it with beautiful simplicity:The goal of the Christian life is to know Christ and to be like Him.That’s it. That’s the target. That’s the aim. That’s the bull’s-eye. Christianity is not a ladder ofrules we climb to reach heaven. It is not rituals, routines, or religious performances. Christianityis a living, growing, personal relationship with the risen Lord Jesus Christ—a relationship thattransforms us into His likeness.Our goal is to know Him. And our goal is to become like Him. And saints, hear me well: our goalis to know Him—and to make Him known.  Each month, Elder Tolliver offers a spiritually encouraging book to help you in your walk with Christ for any size donation.
