The Unburdened Race

The Christian race is not won by looking back. In Philippians 3:13-14, Paul urges us to forget what is behind and press on toward the prize-a life fully focused on Christ. While remembering God's past faithfulness brings gratitude and growth, dwelling on past failures, sins, or regrets can hinder our progress.
Jesus warned against looking back, as seen in Lot’s wife and the Israelites longing for Egypt. Holding onto bitterness, unforgiveness, or shame keeps us stuck, but Christ calls us to move forward in His grace. Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the champion of our faith, we run with endurance, knowing that He alone is our ultimate prize.
