The Value of Knowing Christ Jesus

This is an interesting thing for an intelligent, educated person to write:

“Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.” Philippians 3:8-9

This was written by a man named Paul. He wrote it under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Is it true? Yes, it is. This passage is providing us with helpful knowledge. Nothing we do in life is more important than knowing Christ Jesus.

Coming To Know Jesus, Not Religion

If you say, “I’m not a fan of the power plays and politics and some of the antics that I see in organized religion,” you might be interested to know that Jesus wasn’t happy about that stuff either.  Christianity is not really about perpetuating an organized religion, at it’s heart, it’s about coming to genuinely know the living Jesus Christ.
