Subject: What is "this attitude?" |
Bible Note: mommapbs . . .I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. We are leave behind us and the everything that is of the world. We are cleansed by the blood of Christ from all unrighteousness. But we are given to God by the Cross. We are basptized in Christ's death and ressurected in newness of life. This is a fact and God has done it even though we might not have a revelation of it personally. Paul did. He left all he had in his "old life" behind. Even considered it trash in comparison to what he had attained in his "new life", given to him by God though Jesus. Even the sufferings he had to endure are better than anything the world had to offer because he suffered them for Christ's sake. He wanted to be known by one thing and that was to be "found in Him". When we, as Paul tells us, realize, have, a personal experience, revelation knowledge of what God has done through the life, crucifixtion, and resurrection of Jesus, we will know that the loss of all things is gain. Philip. 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, [KJV] I will, am suffering the loss of all things that I may gain Christ (the Anointed One and His Anointing). If I hold even one thing back I hold it in greater esteem than Christ. Jesus says "Follow Me." Have we gotten up and left all behind and followed Him. We must continue In Him until we attain that which we do not have. . . resurrected bodies. Then we will be complete. Just some thoughts Asis |
