They are true a spiritual gift to me! <BR/><BR/>It is my desire to see the Lord Jesus Christ lifted up so that all may come unto him, and also to encourage the saints who love Him!<BR/><BR/>I pray that we may continue to be mutually encouraged by each other's faith as we build each other up in the Lord!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260881481155371870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401273000608622587.post-29098966819064016172008-12-17T15:21:00.000+10:302008-12-17T15:21:00.000+10:30We die to self to gain Christ!

I love how Paul writes from his heart in this matter:<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>Philipians 3:7-9Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260881481155371870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401273000608622587.post-43400843159798947012008-12-16T01:35:00.000+10:302008-12-16T01:35:00.000+10:30Awesome Sam!

Not an easy task always. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your writings. You are an awesome brother in the Lord our God.

But I do believe we work out our salvation in fear and trembling. Day by day, we grow in faith - and the obedience that comes by faith. Day by day we gain greater understanding of God's character and nature and strength, as well as our own weakness and utter dependency on Him! Day by day we pick up our cross, die to self and follow him!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260881481155371870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401273000608622587.post-38376497747728168332008-12-11T00:18:00.000+10:302008-12-11T00:18:00.000+10:30A beautiful prayer, but do we really "work out our...A beautiful prayer, but do we really "work out our salvation"...for it is by grace we have been saved? I like to think I need to work out my bad habits of human nature caused by the fall of man by obedience to my Lord and the daily act of surrender.<BR/><BR/>I love your writings! Keep up the great work!Shannon Jacobyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285508333520716949noreply@blogger.com
