Paul had an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ ( Acts 9:1-9 ) which changed and redirected his life and service towards Christ forever. It didn't take him long to willingly forfeit and give up his wonderful and rich heritage and background in order to gain Christ ( Philippians 3:4-6 ) . He found that those privileges were gain only to the outside world, but not to the Christians.
None could help him gain salvation or make him a better follower of Christ. To him, they were liabilities and losses compared with the excellence of knowing and gaining Christ. Peter asked Jesus what they could gain, having left their all to follow Him. Jesus answer assured him of tremendous benefits including the crown of life eternal.
What are those things that are so dear to you but which are hindering you from gaining Christ? Do not hold unto them tightly. God may ask you to let them go and you need to obey.
How traffic for to value drugs of any kind more than eternal life and the blessing and rewards that God gives. Note that whatever you give up for the sake of gaining Christ, shall be replaced by blessings and gifts a hundred times better. Unless you give up those earthly things, you will never posses eternal life. It oays to serve Jesus.
