The word of the day 17/07/12ş

Do you remember in Genesis 19:26 that Lots wife looked back as she was following behind him, and she turned into a pillar of salt. That Jesus said, Anyone who puts his hand on a plough and looks back at the things behind is of no use in the holy nation of God. So let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, for It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,  who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallenaway, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

Brothers and sisters do not consider yourself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing you do: forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called you heavenwards in Christ Jesus. keep going on therefore my brethren, and press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of you, Not that you have already obtained all this ahead of you, or have already arrived at your goal, but in fixing your eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of your faith. Who for the joy set before him he endured the cross for you, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God make intersection for you and all the saints.
 

Luke 9:61-62 /Hebrews 12:2/hebrews6/ Philippians 3:13
