  4. Jesus set goals Luke 13: 32-33 And He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.’ 33 Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.

  5. Acts 2: 23 this Man ( Jesus ), delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. I Peter 1: 20 For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you 21 who through Him are believers in God,...

  6. The Lord’s Apostle set goals. Philippians 3: 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. ( cf – II Tim. 2: 7-8 ) I Timothy 1: 5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

  7. Christians must also set goals Philippians 3: 17 Join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. Philippians 3: 12 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.

  10. John 8:29 And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him. Colossians 1: 10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work ...

  11. Ephesians 4:15 but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, I Peter 2: 2 like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,
