Charles Ellicott Commentary Philippians 3:14

"I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 3:14 (ASV)

The high calling of God.—Properly, the calling which is above—that is (much as in Colossians 3:12), “the heavenly calling”—which is “of God,” proceeding from His will, for whom He predestinated, them He also called (Romans 8:30); and is “in Christ Jesus” by virtue of the unity with Him, in which we are at once justified and sanctified.
