Our reputation, possessions, abilities, and intellect can keep us from knowing Him.


Philippians 3:8 ‘Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,’


Our reputation, possessions, abilities, and intellect

can diminish our desire for Christ and His word.

Our reputation can make us fearful of becoming a fool for Christ.

Our possessions can cause us to trust in the security of riches

rather than the promises of God.

Our abilities can make us self-reliant

rather than dependent upon the strength He gives.

Our intellect can become self-elevating

rather than desiring to glorify Jesus.

The experience of knowing Him is of far greater worth than the things we lose.
