Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.It's important that we understand we are not yet perfect. We will be perfect one day, but not in this life. If we begin to think we're already perfect, we fall into sin and the gift Christ gave us becomes cheap.
Even though we'll never get there, it's important that we strive towards perfection. We need to be moving forward to become more like Christ, because in that work is our transformation. We will never in this life become just like Christ, but the more like Him we become, the less our imperfections interfere with His work and message.
