“It is an awful fact that there are some that will be ‘scarcely saved’ –
saved because of faith in Jesus Christ, but whose whole life will have been
practically thrown away, because what they labored for has been what
perishes. All past years are gone forever, with their opportunities. Shall
we continue pursuing the same course that we have been? Shall we live for
this world or for the world to come?”
~A.T. Pierson, “The Bible and Spiritual Life”
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.–Philippians 3:13-15
