GREATEST WORTH AND ADVANTAGE
Wednesday, October 27th, 2010Whatever 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!
