Everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him (Philippians 3:8; NLT).
Let’s clear our minds
Of everything but Christ,
And rid our hearts
Of everything but love.
Let’s purge our souls
Of everything but faith.
And cleanse our lives
Of everything but good.
Dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God (2 Corinthians 7:1; NLT).
