Greetings sister saints!
I hope you're still there pressing for the kingdom of God. What we have found is indeed as the pearl of great price...
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Matthew 13:44-46
Yes the truth of Christ and His good news is so precious! And we be willing to or lose all for it. We certainly lose sin and such things but we live for our eternal home too and not down here.
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
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,
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
Philippians 3:7-15
So let us press on as we have not received our reward yet. We will reap it if we faint not!
We know we are to fear God always. And that keeps us from evil as surely sin leads to His wrath. May it keep us in all truth and sound doctrine as well. We do not go along with things that we know are false and displeasing to Him. We each must give account of ourselves and we can't compare ourselves to other people around us.
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.Job 28:28
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.Proverbs 16:6
Let us be truly wise in such a foolish world which claims to have much wisdom and knowledge. But the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. Let us become 'fools' in the eyes of the world to be wise with God. We are saved by faith and the natural man cannot understand the things of the Spirit. Press on for the kingdom my sisters! Love and mercy unto you in the name of our Lord and Saviour who first loved us. All the glory be unto Him!
