We All Have Done Things for Which We are Ashamed

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet, but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3: 13-14).

In Acts 7: 57-58, Paul had reason to forget what was behind, he took part in the first Christian martyr. He had held the coats of those who stoned Stephen. Paul is called Saul here in these verses. We all have done things for which we are ashamed, and we live to the tension of what we have been and what we want to be, because our hope is in Christ, still, we can let go of past guilt and look forward to what God will help us become.

Don't dwell on your past, instead, grow in the knowledge of God by focusing on your relationship with Him now. You must realize that you are forgiven, and them move on to a life of faith and obedience. Look toward a fuller and more meaningful life because of your hope in Christ.
