“To Be Found In Him”
“To Be Found In Him”
Blessings folk!
How do you want to be remembered?
Read this passage again.
How does Paul say that he desires to “be found”?
Phl 3:7-11
But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ,
and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,
that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;
in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Is this your desire?
To be found in Him…in the righteousness of Christ.
Or, do you depend upon your own righteousness?
We must be found in His righteousness…by faith.
We must know Him.
We must know the power of His resurrection.
We must know the fellowship of His sufferings.
We must be conformed to His death.
All in order that we might attain to the resurrection from the dead.
It is by these that we are to be remembered.
Not by the ways and manners of the world.
