Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(Php 3:9) “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: (10)  That I may know him,…”   Friend, you cannot “know Him” until your faith is “only” in Him, in His righteousness alone! Paul wanted only to know the One Who gave Himself for Him. His thoughts were past self in every way. But that is “why” He longed to know Him, for Paul knew he could not save himself. Jesus loved him (you and me) that much!
