One of the things that is absolutely damaging to a Christian is letting the devil put guilt or lies into your head that you can not do something.  As soon as he has you believing that you are useless, guess what…Your Useless.  To avoid this we must know our Bible and what our Heavenly Father says that we are.  To truly understand who we are though we must understand who Christ is.  Paul gives us a beautiful description of Christ and His character in his letter to the Church at Colossae which he wrote during his first imprisonment in Rome .  In chapter 1 verses 15-20, Paul outlines Christ’s Character and gives us an image of who He is:

1) Image of God
2) Forstborn of Creation
3) Creator of the Universe
4) Head of the Church
5) Firstborn from the dead
6) Fullness of God
7) Reconciler of all things

Now, with this defined and somewhat trying to understand what the fullness of God actually is (as I dont think we as humans can fully comprehend it) and all of the other Characteristics we need to remember a couple of things.  This is who Christ is…but when God sees us He sees us through Christ.  So when He sees us He sees someone who is already:

1) Completed in Christ (Colossians 2:10) 
2) Holy (Colossians 3:12)
3) Perfect (Hebrews 10:14)
4) Righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21)

So, then back to my original question,  What is the Unreachable Goal?  And to that I thankfully answer with Christ…THERE IS NOT ONE!  We should as Christians never feel defeated or discouraged, we should always remember the One that John defines for us in John 1:4.

4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men.

In Him we have life, He overcame death so that we may live.  He again is our life!  Do not allow the evil one to decieve.  Know who Christ is so that you know who you are in Christ!!
Walk with Him, talk with Him, spend time daily with Him.  But most importantly rest in Him and have faith in Him.
