Philippians 3:14: "I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
This verse is about, among many things, perseverance. It speaks of pressing on toward the goal of praising Christ Jesus with every available talent, resource, and breath. In context, Paul tells us all of the sacrifice and hardship that he has been forced to endure for the gospel, but he concludes that he "counts it all rubbish." There is no greater prize, no more valuable treasure than to serve God with earnestness and passion. Any other treasure is not only transient and failing, it is also counterfeit and insufficient. Let us then press on toward the eternal prize that is knowing and serving God in Christ Jesus!
