Phil. 3:10...That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I Press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Jesus Christ has laid hold of me.
It is such a thrill to consider and to meditate on this upward call to walk in the fullness of what God has prepared for us! He called us into fellowship with Him, The fellowship of His son Jesus (1st Cor 1:9) and He has made the way open to us and for us to come to Him with abandon! This fellowship (koinonea) that He so desires to have with us and desires for us to move into is so intimate and personal that it cannot be described with words understood by the mind alone. It is revealed first to our hearts, our spirits, by the Holy spirit through His word and enlightens our hearts to begin to lay hold of the "unsearchable riches of Christ" (Eph 3:8...)
The call of the LORD to his people in this day is to walk in holiness, to be a people separated, consecrated to Him and Him alone! Here's the good news, We can't do it! That's the good news??? Yes! We don't have to try to be perfected in our own strength, we are changed from the inside out by coming boldly to His throne of grace by the blood of the lamb and in His presence we are changed from glory to glory! He is Faithfull to do it!!
