Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.--Philippians 3:12 KJV
As a believer I have been apprehended by Christ. I am His possession...He has laid hold of me to bring me to heaven. My safety...my salvation...is not that I lay hold of Him but that He lays hold of me.
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.-1 Peter 1:5
We love him, because he first loved us.--1 John 4:19
I have been chosen for the very purpose of being perfected...conformed to His image. That is the very goal I will press on towards [follow after, earnestly endeavor to acquire, pursue, seek eagerly after] I want what He wanted for me when he took hold of me. I want what He desires for me. Father may Your desires be my desires.. I want everything you have for me.
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.--Psalm 37:4
