of Him. If the seeking Christians were like this, the situation on earth would be excellent and wonderful. However, the situation among Chris tians today is confused and complicated. This is due to the fact that seeking Christians do not have this mind. Instead of seeking God's unique goal, they pursue other goals. These different goals cause trouble. We in the Lord's recovery should have one goal, and this goal should be to pursue Christ that we may have the fullest enjoyment of Him and may gain Him in full.
GOD'S UNIQUE GOAL
In Philippians 3:15 Paul says that "if in any thing you are otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you." Pursuing after Christ must be our goal. We should not be otherwise minded. God wants always to adjust our mind to His cen ter by revealing to us the need of such a mind, a mind focused on the pursuing of Christ.
Paul's word in verse 15 indicates his assur ance that there was just one goal. Because of this assurance he could say that if in anything we were otherwise minded, this also God would reveal to us. Paul did not mean that Christians did not have other goals. What he said was that God would reveal this to them.
