The Lethargy of Settled Certitude

Scripture

Philippians 3:12–14 (NRSVUE)

Not that I have already obtained this

or have already reached the goal,

but I press on to make it my own,

because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own,

but this one thing I do:

forgetting what lies behind

and straining forward to what lies ahead,

I press on toward the goal

for the prize of the heavenly call of God

in Christ Jesus.

Refrain

I press on. I have not arrived.

Quote

John Bunyan, from Pilgrim's Progress

"His burden loosed from off his shoulders,

and fell from off his back,

and began to tumble,

and so continued to do,

till it came to the mouth of the sepulchre,

where it fell in,

and I saw it no more.

Then was Christian glad and lightsome."
