Meant To Live

A song by Switchfoot. In Philippains 3:7-8, Paul tells the church in Phillipi, "But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may g ain Christ."

Paul indeed had many reasons to boast of himself, coming from the tribe of Benjamin, being a Hebrew, a zealous Pharisee... (v. 4-6). We likewise feel that sometimes we are more than qualified when it comes to our morality, achievements, and standards, before God. But the truth is this - the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ and everything that it entails, puts everything that we can ever boast about in our flesh to shame. They can never be compared to our faith and salvation we have in Christ. We were meant to live for so much more!
