“MAY THE POWER OF JESUS’ RESURRECTION BE EVIDENT IN YOUR LIFE!”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
”Not only that, but I consider everything a disadvantage in comparison with the supreme value of knowing the Messiah Yeshua as my Lord. It was because of him that I gave up everything and regard it all as garbage, in order to gain the Messiah and be found in union with him, not having any righteousness…” (Philippians 3:8-11)
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 of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly.
For His sake, I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish, refuse, and dregs, in order that I may win and gain Christ the Anointed One.
And that I may actually be found and known as in Him, not having any self-achieved righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law’s demands, ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired, but possessing that genuine righteousness which comes through faith in Christ the Anointed One, the truly right standing with God, which comes from God by saving faith.
For my determined purpose is that I may know Him, that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly, and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection which it exerts over believers, and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death, in the hope.
Paul the Apostle, had been living his life as an ardent unbeliever and opposer of Jesus Christ before he experienced the grace of God that Calvary made available to all sinners.
Such saving grace must be marvellous indeed for Paul to have said, He tasted of this grace and it aroused such passion and devotion in him that he strove to win Christ.
Therefore, we who believe in adhere to, trust in, and rely on the name of the Son of God in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him on us, so that we may know with settled and absolute knowledge that we already have life, yes, eternal life in Him, Adonai Yeshua!
JESUS IS LORD OF ALL AND EVERYBODY SHOUT A LOUD, “AMEN AND AMEN!”
Shalom and good morning.
