Gain to Loss
Philippians 3:7-8
7 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
8 More than that, I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus...
In this life, if we desire to wholesomely follow Christ, there are things of gain to us that has to be counted and turned ad loss. Take an example of Apostle Paul who spoke above, the fleshy zeal he had was count as loss. We also, have to count our materialistic, carnal and worldly gain as loss.
What are those things we derive pleasure in? Those things that don't exalt the knowledge of Christ should be drop. That drinking, smoking, formication, fraudulent practices, greed, envy, hate, malice, falsehood and others should not be practiced. We are redeemed, regeneration and resurrected.
Beloved, anything that does not exalt Christ and that is not to His Excellency should be counted as loss.
May God Almighty give us the strength and mindset to count worldly as loss.
Shalom!!
