Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
Philippians 3:8-11
For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
My Pondering
God wants your all…your full trust, commitment and obedience. But it must be voluntary. It must be your will. #All-In!
Jesus deserves it all…this is the Gospel message. His sacrifice is your gain. His mighty work leading up to the cross, His willingness to pay the price of the world’s sins is unprecedented, unparalleled and unimaginable for us humans. #Only-God!
God gave His all…it must have been worth it. God the Father demonstrated His love and still does by ultimate patience, grace and mercy, restraining His righteousness. It’s all recorded in the Scriptures, parable after parable. He is working and waiting for YOU today.
It’s foolish to refuse to give what you can not keep to gain what you can’t not lose. The worlds ways are a trap and Jesus is the treasure. I exchanged my woes for a crown, because Jesus gave it all.
What are YOU waiting for?
The miracle awaits YOUR response.
yes and amen! all glory to God!
