I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith ina Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. Philippians 3:8b-9 NIV
To gain Christ is to find the most wonderful of treasures, one which cannot be exceeded. With Christ, we give up our slavery to that which is of this world, to receive the eternal treasures which God had planned for all who believe.
We must always remember that while we are found righteous in Christ, it is only through Him that we are found thusly. We have done nothing of our own to qualify us as righteous. It is totally through the grace and mercy of our Lord that we shall one day stand before our creator, justified by the blood shed by Jesus at Calvary. We can never boast in ourselves. Our boasting must be in Christ Jesus.
Our continued faith in Christ, through good times and bad, and our obedience to Him are what we must do. We will face tests in life, but, this will help to strengthen our faith. Christ is with us through all we encounter. Never forget that the Lord stands right beside you. You are not alone.
