The person who is not satisfied with Christ will inevitably seek satisfaction somewhere else, but nothing else will satisfy. Nothing on earth was meant to satisfy except Christ.
Only a renewed mind can live a life in the Lord; but an untransformed life proves the mind is not yet renewed. Let our minds be continually filled with the living spring of truth from our Lord.
We are exhorted to continuously strain forward to the fullness of salvation which Christ has secured for us. As a runner leans into the finish line, so Christians reach toward Christ by faith in Him.
Most of us have achieved some kinds of secular achievements. In the end, we cannot take them with us into glory. So, why would we live for them now? We have something better to live for-Christ Jesus our Lord.
Every Christian is called to work out his or her own salvation with dedication. With final salvation (glorification) as our goal, holiness is our inseparable disciplined lifestyle. Holiness is every Christian’s committed work.

The Christian paradigm includes humility, ministry, and doxology. This was the very attitude in Christ (Phil. 2:6–7) and the very attitude Christians seek to obtain.
Christians conduct themselves to make Christ known and for Christianity to be reputable. Their conduct requires humility. Humility leads to unity and unity affirms the transformative power of Christ.
The hope of being with Christ compels Christians to yield our whole selves to Him. This yielding takes on a practical form in our lives, in our character, and in our complete following of Jesus.
All Christians know Christ and fellowship with Christ. These alone provide the content and encouragement for us to tell people about the Savior. If we trust Him, we will also act upon that trust and proclaim Christ fearlessly.
