Phil. 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Goal oriented, not emotionally oriented, logically oriented or deductively oriented.

How do we press on to the goal?

God did everything out of love for His future children to live like Him, doing out of love and concern.

God’s Breath within
