ONWARD! A CH Spurgeon Sermon on Philippians 3:13-14
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 3:13-14
In the sermon "Onward," Charles Spurgeon focuses on Philippians 3:13-14, where the Apostle Paul speaks about pressing forward toward the goal of spiritual maturity and eternal life. Spurgeon exhorts believers to follow Paul's example of forgetting what lies behind and striving for what lies ahead.
He emphasizes the need for Christians to pursue continual spiritual growth, leaving behind past achievements or failures and pushing onward with renewed energy. The sermon encourages perseverance in faith, a relentless pursuit of Christlikeness, and a refusal to become complacent in the Christian journey. Spurgeon highlights the necessity of keeping one's eyes on the heavenly prize and running the race with full dedication.

"When they asked Napoleon why he continually made wars, he said, 'I am the child of war; conquest has made me what I am, and conquest must maintain me.' The Christian church is the child of spiritual war; she only lives as she fights, and rides forth conquering and to conquer."
"Brethren and sisters, I wish I could stir myself and stir you to a passionate longing after a gracious, consistent, godly life, yea, for an eminently, solidly, thoroughly devoted and consecrated life."
