“To Know Christ…
“To Know Christ…”
Blessings folk!
The Power of God!
Read very closely.
What did Paul desire to “know”?
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.
Paul desired to know Christ Jesus.
Do we?
He considered this knowledge to be of “surpassing value”.
To know Jesus.
To know the Power of His resurrection.
To know the fellowship of His sufferings.
To be conformed to His death.
Why?
To attain to the resurrection of the dead.
Is this what we see in our lives personally?
Is this what we see corporately?
No wonder we are in the state we are in…
