For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life [ in the eternal kingdom of God]?
"No one has ever gone up into the presence of God except the One who came down from that Presence, the Son of Man. In the same way that Moses lifted the serpent in the desert so people could have something to see and then believe, it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up—and everyone who looks up to him, trusting and expectant, will gain a real life, eternal life.
Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.
Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ.
For me to live is Christ [His life in me], and to die is gain [the gain of the glory of eternity].
But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.
Mark 8:36 John 3:13 Romans 8:37 1 Corinthians 13:3 Philippians 1:21 1 Timothy 6:6
Make the most of life on earth as it is now – but know the best is yet to come.
