Great Turn Around
*Philippians 3:1-10; 2 Corinthians 4:16* As we delve into the scriptures, we find a remarkable example of a great turnaround experience in the life of Apostle Paul. His transformation from a zealous persecutor of Christians to a passionate follower of Jesus Christ is a testament to the power of faith. In Philippians 3:9, Apostle Paul emphasizes the key factor in experiencing a great turnaround: Faith. It is not merely knowing the doctrine about God but having an experiential knowledge of Him. To effect a great turnaround, we must: 1. Know the Lord experimentally (Philippians 3:9) 2. Experience the power of resurrection (Romans 4:25, 1 Corinthians 15:17) 3. Participate in the fellowship of His suffering (Colossians 1:24, 2 Timothy 2:11) 4. Be conformed to His death (Romans 8:29, Galatians 2:20) 5. Attain to His resurrection (Philippians 3:20-21) Paul's journey serves as a case study for us. As we go through these stages, we too can experience a great turnaround in our lives. *Prayer...
