To Obtain Christ by Experiencing the Power of His Resurrection

In Philippians 3:7-16 the apostle Paul uses at least three different Greek words to express the idea of gaining, indicating the Lord’s desire that we gain Him, obtain Him, and lay hold of Him. In this booklet taken from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee reveals that these expressions point to three stages of the securing of Christ. “In this booklet I am not burdened to cover either the initial gaining of Christ or the final laying hold of Him. My burden is related to the process of the continual obtaining of Christ, the process which takes place between the initial gaining of Christ and the final laying hold of Him.”
