Five Great Commitments

As vision is established, we need to make five great commitments (Phil. 3:10-14):

PHP 3:10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
PHP 3:11 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
PHP 3:12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
PHP 3:13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
PHP 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

1. I am committed to intimacy with Jesus. That I may know Him (10)
2. I am committed to fulfilling my unique purpose. To take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me (12)
3. I am committed to fulfilling the Great Commission. To take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me (12)
4. I am committed to the future. Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead (13)
5. I am committed to His approval.

The goal of the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (14)
