In Philippians 3:12-16, Paul admits he hasn’t arrived at perfection but presses on with one focus: forgetting the past and straining toward the prize of knowing Christ fully. The world’s “shiny things”—comfort, achievements, approval—promise joy but deliver brokenness. Maturity isn’t flawlessness; it’s daily dependence on the Holy Spirit to reveal distorted thinking about past identities, failures, or present temptations, and to reframe reality through the lens of resurrection hope. When the Spirit corrects our vision, future glory in Jesus overshadows temporary struggles, fueling joy now as we live and sacrifice like Christ.
