                          "But what things were gain to me, those i counted loss for Christ." -Philippians 3:7
                          What have you decided to let go for you to gain Jesus? Or did you continue to live your life as is, after receiving Jesus as your Lord & Saviour?

                          If you did the later i hate to break it to you, you are not in Christ Jesus. You are not a true christian at all.
                          Being a christian, you are to change- in the way you have lived your life. A life where you are the centre, where everything just revolves around you, how you feel, perceive things, your thoughts about certain things- everything is just about you, that life will shift to a life glorifying God- that is to say everything about your life revolves around Jesus Christ. By doing so our minds will be renewed, what we value most changes unto God Himself. This is about you becoming a new creation in Christ Jesus. You are no longer who you were, you are not you sins, you are not your past, you are God's child. And so you'll act like one.
                          Your sins you will let them go and hold on to your faith.
                          Your worldly desire you will let them go and hold on to Godly spiritual gifts.
                          Let go of yourself and hold on to Jesus.
                          Clearly you can't have both. Either flesh or the Spirit.
                          Paul declared that the things he considered gain in the past were all vain in order for him to gain Christ.
                          As a Christian there will be certain things that we will let go to have Jesus, it may be a thing, or someone, or a job, or the world...because we only have one thing that we will consider a gain, rather someone... and that someone is Jesus Christ, nothing & no one else but Him.
                          "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." -Philippians 1:21
                          It is gain to die, to die in Christ because i know i will be with Him. That is why it is gain. That is why it is gain to all Christians.
                          Are you willing to let go certain things or all things in order to gain Christ? And let me remind you that these things aren't random and irrelevant stuff, these are things you value most but they will hinder you in serving the living God.
                          What have you let go in order to gain Christ? 
                          To God be the glory!
