To Know Christ Let Us Follow Paul’s Example

To know Christ really, I believe there is no better example that Paul. He gave it all, the author of a majority of the New Testament he shared the love of Christ to all who would listen…

Philippians 3:10-11 (MEV) 10 to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if somehow I might make it to the resurrection of the dead.

As I try to teach others I sometimes feel I am spinning my tires, I am stuck in the mud. Sometimes I even feel no one is listening. Then I read Philippians 3:10-11. For this is the desire of my heart so then I read on with Philippians 3:12-14 (MEV) 12 Not that I have already attained or have already been perfected, but I follow after it so that I may lay hold of that for which I was seized by Christ Jesus. 13 Brothers, I do not count myself to have attained, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

To know Christ it’s time for some to let go of the past and move on. By hanging on to the past one is not excepting Galatians 2:20  As one who has accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, our old person was nailed to the cross with Jesus Christ. So if that is true, then old things have passed away, they are dead and gone. They no longer exist. If they are still hanging on then according to verse 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”

We are saved by the grace through faith of Jesus Christ. and All thing not some, not a few, not this or that, ALL thing become new. if not then Jesus died for nothing. It is time to make a choice. Old or New. that is why I believe Philippians 3:15-16.

This verse is very clear about what we should be doing and that is growing and that is what I am hoping to help each one to do is grow. It is time for some to grow up it is time to get off the milk and get on some solid food and if not… Philippians 3:18-19  Their mind is set on earthly things. This is why I pray that we all can start Following Paul’s Example.
