Whatever former things I had that might have been gains to me,
I have come to consider as one combined loss for Christ’s sake.
Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the
possession of the priceless privilege ( the overwhelming preciousness,
the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus
my Lord and progressively becoming more deeply and intimately
acquainted with Him ( of perceiving, recognizing and understanding Him
more fully and clearly). For His sake I have lost everything and consider
it all to be mere rubbish, in order that I may win Christ.
And that I may be found in Him, not having any self-achieved righteousness
that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law’s demands of
ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired,
but possessing that genuine righteousness which comes through faith in
Christ, the truly right standing with God, which comes from God by faith.
(Philippians 3.7-9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
For he who sows to his own flesh
( lower nature, sensuality) will
from the flesh reap decay and
destruction, but he who sows
to the Spirit will from the Spirit
reap eternal life.
And let us not lose heart and
grow weary in acting nobly,
doing right, for in due time
and the appointed season
we shall reap, if we do not
loosen our resolve.
So then, as occasion and
opportunity open up to us,
let us do good to all people
( not only being useful to them,
but also doing what is for their
spiritual good and advantage).
Be mindful to be a blessing,
especially to those of the household
of faith ( those who belong to God’s
family with you, the believers).
(Galatians 6.8-10).
