Gain

 

“But the things that used to be advantages for me, I have, because of The Messiah YESHUA, come to consider a disadvantage. Not only that, but I consider everything a disadvantage in comparison to the Supreme value of knowing The Messiah Yeshua as my LORD. It was because of Him that I gave up everything and regard it all as garbage, in order to gain The Messiah and be found in union with Him, not having any righteousness of my own based on legalism, but having that righteousness which comes through The Messiah’s faithfulness, the righteousness that comes from GOD based on trust.” Philippians 3:7-9 CJB

 

When we become a Christian what do we gain? We gain forgiveness of sin through JESUS CHRIST; we gain eternal Life in GOD; we gain the SPIRIT of GOD living in us.

 

We do the works of The Kingdom like JESUS did; what we see The Father doing and what we hear The Father saying; not to become saved but because we are saved! “So, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed when I was with you, it is even more important that you obey now when I am away from you: keep working on your deliverance with fear and trembling, for GOD is the One working among you both the willing and the working for what pleases Him.” Philippians 2:12-13 CJB

 

“Then JESUS said to His disciples, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For The Son of Man will come in the Glory of His Father with His angels and then He will reward each according to his works.’” Matthew 16:24-27 NKJV
