I Press On

Last week we saw that Paul made mention of a different resurrection for the believers. All the dead in Christ will be resurrected but Paul said he wanted to attain the out-resurrection. As we saw the out resurrection is a further seperation of believers who will be separated to a place of honor and service in the coming kingdom. These are believers who have sown much in the kingdom, they are the ones who have laid up treasures in heaven, they are the ones who stewarded their salvation well and used it to advance the Lord's kingdom. The next set of verses vs 12-16 lays out for us the why and the how of obtaining this out-resurrection. Are we striving and pressing on towards the goal? What is the goal?
