I Want to Know Christ

If God’s favor could be earned, Paul’s impressive religious résumé would have secured his acceptance. After he met Jesus, however, Paul’s accomplishments and pedigree no longer mattered to him; he only desired to know Christ and be found in Him. Walking us through the doctrine of justification, Alistair Begg explains that our righteousness comes from our union with Jesus, not our works. Though unfit for heaven, we need not fear judgment, because our sins were judged in Christ.

Preached: 06/21/1998
Scripture: Philippians 3:4-11

How very rare to hear God's truth from the pulpit nowadays I love Alistair Begg because he always preachs nothing but truth. I'm so very grateful for his ministry.

I love that this man of God loves us enough to tell us the real truth in words we cannot soon forget!

Mind blowing conviction! Thank you Jesus. Thank you Pastor Begg staying the course when others turn their back in the truths.

[d.c.]

Outstanding message!! I've been struggling with the temptation to love and value the material things of this world. Not consciously but how I allocate my time. Too much of my time spent making money and enjoying what it buys. But as Paul said...I count it all as rubbish!!!! BUT THAT I MAY GAIN CHRIST...period. Super powerful! Thank you pastor for this awesome non traditional Fathers day message!

One of the best and most profound messages Begg has ever delivered. I have listened 3 times this week and got more each time.

That's heavy, man! (said the 60s)
Glory to God for that message!
Thank you, God for sanctifying Pastor Begg and letting me receive this message and, in so doing, sanctifying me. So thankful. So grateful.
Hallelujah! Stand firm and strong everyone, in the Lord.

Love this, but I seldom hear the context of this passage that continues through Phil. 3:16 😌❤
