Philippians 3:8-11

Last night as I was preparing for Sunday School, I fell in love with this passage! In Sunday School, we do a study on the passage that the pastor is preaching on that way we are much more prepared for the sermon. We are currently going through the book of Philippians.

⁸ What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ ⁹ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in^[a] Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. ¹⁰ I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, ¹¹ and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.


 This passage is so full of encouragement and advice! I found it such a blessing and I was awestruck, as I often am with how Great a God I serve. He works in wonderous ways! I needed to hear these works and I need this message and what did God do? He put it right under my nose! As I studied this passage and read it in CONTEXT, (Context is King is it not?!) I discovered the true Principle of the passage and that is what I will leave you with!

Strive to live like Christ, because He saved you! Don't worry about what people will say about you/us because of our Faith; YOU have CHRIST and that is ALL that matters!
