Paul isn't pressing on to earn Christ. He presses on because Christ has already taken hold of him. The gospel, the good news, is the story of how you can be made right with Christ, how you can be made right with God, the gospel. It doesn't tell us, hey, run hard so God will love you. It says the other thing, hey, God loves you, so run hard. Like imagine a gold medalist, a runner who's already been, you know, their gold medal has already been guaranteed, right? They're not running to win acceptance. They're running because they've already won. They're already loved, already chosen, already victorious. That's the Christian life. You know, we're running because we've won.
