The evidence of being apprehended by Christ is seen in a believer's ongoing pursuit of the holiness and glory of God, recognizing their reliance on His grace.
Being apprehended by Christ means to be chosen and seized by Him with a divine purpose for our lives. As Paul articulates in Philippians 3:12-14, this apprehension is acknowledged through a humble admission of our continual need for grace and our knowledge of how far we are from Christ's perfect standard. The believer’s journey is marked not by a sense of having arrived but by a pressing forward towards that which God has called them. This involves an awareness of our dependency on Christ for both the desire and ability to pursue holiness, reaffirming that our spiritual walk is a result of His work within us, not our own capability or merit.
