What Profit?

Philippians 3:7-11

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, 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 in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Knowledge of the mystery is having the reality of an experience of knowing God personally and consciously. Jesus Christ Himself is the deeper life, and as I plunge on into the knowledge of Christ and His love. God's GRACE is so powerful. Jesus Christ have established a meaningful intimate friendship and He loves me. Real fulfillment is knowing that my life is fulfilled by Him, and to have an affirmation of life. It is my personal relationship to God that really matters that takes priority over everything else regardless what happens. My faith is knowing God as "I AM" regardless what happens in my life. Its not about how I "practice" your faith to draw near to God, but rather how my "heart" is when are drawing Him to me as Hebrews 10:22 said "let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water."
