Do not live life backwards but move forward. Have you ever tried walking backwards. It isn't easy to keep doing, but that is what some people do in life. They live life the hard way because of their sinful behavior and that hurts themselves and others. We need to keep moving forward with our spiritual lives so that our lives are meaningful and good. Shaul says in Philippians 3:13-15 NKJV says, "Brothers, I, for my part, do not think of myself as having yet gotten hold of it; but one thing I do: forgetting what is behind me and straining forward toward what lies ahead, I keep pursuing the goal in order to win the prize offered by God's upward calling in the Messiah Yeshua. Therefore, as many of us as are mature, let us keep paying attention to this." So, make every effort to keep moving forward spiritually to pursue our good goals. Follow God's commandments so we will receive blessing and pass on blessings to others and then receive eternal life. What we do is important.
