Why is moving forward in faith important for believers?

Moving forward in faith is central to the Christian life, exemplified by God's command to the Israelites to 'go forward' even when faced with insurmountable odds (Exodus 14:15). This act of faith signifies trust in God's direction, despite fears or uncertainties. By following God’s guidance, Christians can overcome spiritual and physical obstacles. Philippians 3:13-14 captures this sentiment, urging believers to forget what lies behind and to strive towards what lies ahead in Christ. It is through moving forward, clinging to God’s promises, that believers witness His redemptive work in their lives.
