This Bro. Leo starts us on a Biblical study of how God wants our faith progress from the day we’re saved until the day we pass from this life into eternal life.

Our faith in Jesus should always be driving us, moving us or pressing us forward in our spiritual life. With our relationship with Jesus there’s always deeper and deeper, more and more that God has for us.

In Heb.12:1-2, Phil.3:14 we see movement (run), forward motion (set before me, set before Him). God has a course laid out for us with experiences, lessons and blessings that will reveal more and more of God to us.

This is a great introductory study, so please take a little time and listen to this audio file so you don’t miss any of the several points brought out in this study.

Scriptures used in today’s study:

Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Php 3:12 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.
Php 3:13 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,
