Philippians 3:1–11
Consider It All Joy: Be Watchful
Where are we putting our confidence?
Paul reminds us to rejoice in the Lord and to be watchful about what we allow to influence our faith. We live in a world filled with false teaching, false reasoning, and plenty of things telling us where to place our confidence. But our confidence belongs in Christ alone.
We don’t have to clean ourselves up before coming to Jesus. Come to Him, and let Jesus transform you. Our flesh will fail us, our accomplishments will fail us, and the things of this world will fail us. But Jesus never will.
Paul had plenty he could have pointed to as accomplishments, yet he counted it all as loss compared to knowing Christ. Our lives shouldn’t be about what we have accomplished, but about what Christ has accomplished through us.
Jesus is a gift. Accept it.
Know Christ.
Forget what is behind.
Reach forward for what Christ has ahead.
Put your faith and confidence in Jesus only.
There is joy in knowing Him!
If you don’t know Jesus as your Savior, you can today. Confess your sin, turn to Him, and put your faith in Jesus. The same power that raised Christ from the grave is still at work today.
And if you’re looking for a church home, we invite you to join us next Sunday! Come as you are.
There’s a place for you at Lawing’s Chapel Baptist Church.
