Philippians:3:7-14
bwe@Philippians:3:7 @ But all these things that might have helped me, I call them all nothing, because of Christ.
bwe@Philippians:3:8 @ Yes, I call them all nothing, because to know Christ Jesus my Lord is much better. It is for his sake that I have given them all up and call them just dirt. I have lost them but gained Christ.
bwe@Philippians:3:9 @ I do it so that I will belong to him. I do not want to be called good because of the Jewish law. But I want to be made good by believing in Christ. I want to be put right with God through faith alone.
bwe@Philippians:3:10 @ I want to know Christ. I want to know the power that raised him from death. I want to have a part in his trouble. I want to be like him in his death.
bwe@Philippians:3:11 @ Then I hope to be raised from death.
bwe@Philippians:3:12 @ I do not mean to say that I have got there yet, or that I am perfect yet. But I am trying hard to get there, because that is why Christ saved me.
bwe@Philippians:3:13 @ My brothers, I do not yet think that I have got all the things of Christ. But there is one thing that I am doing. I forget what is behind me and reach out to what is ahead of me.
bwe@Philippians:3:14 @ Like a man running a race, I try hard to reach the line so that I will receive the prize. Because we belong to Christ Jesus, God is calling us to receive this prize that he has for us in heaven.
