Day 98 - Read Philippians 3-4

Paul put his faith and his hope in Jesus Christ. He was educated and had great zeal for following the Law, but he knew human effort was not good enough. Paul knew Christ would do all that was needed in those who put their trust in Him. Paul considered all he gained as loss compared to the saving knowledge of Jesus. As believers, we must look ahead to what is to come in Christ and refuse to allow the ways of the world to consume us. Paul encouraged the church to remain faithful, agree in the Lord, and rejoice in the Lord aways. The church is to hold firm in knowledge and in action to the teachings of Christ.
