...Philippians 3:8&ndash;14 (NIV)&nbsp;8 I consider&nbsp;everything a loss&nbsp;compared to the&nbsp;surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost&nbsp;all things.&nbsp;  I consider them rubbish,&nbsp;that I may gain Christ&hellip;12 Not that I have already obtained all this(The fullest extent of knowing Jesus), or have already been made perfect,&nbsp;but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.&nbsp;...  But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.


Philippians 3:12&ndash;13 (TPT)&nbsp;12 I admit that I haven&rsquo;t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I&rsquo;m pursuing, but&nbsp;I run with passion into his abundance so that I may reach the purpose that Jesus Christ has called me to fulfill and wants me to discover.&nbsp;  13 I don&rsquo;t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead.

...8 For even though I did grieve you with my letter, I do not regret [it now], though I did regret it; for I see that that letter did pain you, though only for a little while; 9 Yet I am glad now, not because you were pained, but because you were pained into repentance [and so turned back to God]; for you felt a grief such as God meant you to feel, so that in nothing you might suffer loss through us&nbsp;or&nbsp;harm for what we did.   10 For godly grief&nbsp;and&nbsp;the pain God is permitted to direct, produce a repentance that leads&nbsp;and&nbsp;contributes to salvation&nbsp;and&nbsp;deliverance from evil, and it never brings regret; but worldly grief (the hopeless sorrow that is characteristic of the pagan world) is deadly [breeding and ending in death].


...18 But grow in grace (undeserved favor, spiritual strength) and recognition&nbsp;and&nbsp;knowledge&nbsp;and&nbsp;understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah).

Romans 8:28-39 We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.   For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. ...

No one&mdash;for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God&rsquo;s right hand, pleading for us. ...  Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow&mdash;not even the powers of hell can separate us from God&rsquo;s love.   No power in the sky above or in the earth below&mdash;indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
