however, let’s keep living by that same standard to which we have attained.
— Philippians 3:17 NASB
The Christ we have gained becomes the ruling element in our daily life. This rule is a living person, and the more we possess Him, the more He will set Himself as a rule over us. According to our concept if we are under some rule, we cannot act freely, for restriction and freedom seem mutually exclusive. However, this rule is not only a boundary that restricts our walk. It also marks out a sphere in which we can freely walk because what the Lord has measured to us is so grand.
Excerpted from Philippians: That I May Gain Christ by Titus Chu, p. 231
