"But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ."
-Philippians 3:7-8
Oh how I love the words of Paul, and for that matter the Word of the Lord. What is knowing Christ Jesus the Lord?
The words of Jesus in prayer to the Lord for Himself in the garden of Gethsemane:
"This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent."
-John 17:3
Let there be no debate or matter of opinion, eternal life: knowing the Lord!!
That does not start when you die. That starts right now!
It can't be put any better than this:
"For I am determined to know nothing among you except Christ, and Him crucified."
-I Corinthians 2:2
Knowing Christ, and knowing Him more and more, and being deep in your relationship with Him, above and beyond all else is all that matters.
