Jeremiah 51-52; Philippians 3

Hello Truth Seekers! Philippians 3 is Paul placing more value on his relationship and salvation with and through Jesus than on his Jewish heritage. He states that he consider what he has in belief and faith in Christ is better than what he had in Jewish law and tradition. He counts it as rubbish in comparison. He presses forward to reach the life and promises he has in Jesus, including the resurrection. I wonder often if we really value what we have in salvation, wisdom and eternity. Do we get excited about our faith. Do we treasure it more than any earthly thing we have or had?

Jeremiah 51-52 the end. Jeremiah continues with ultimate defeat and destruction to Babylon. the lesson is that even though God used the Babylonians to bring judgement on Judah, his justice and judgement will come them as the pagans they are. God is sovereign and can decide to use anyone at anytime for his purpose. But the responsibility to serve him only still remains and each person will be judged accordingly. There end comes with a promise to restore Israel and Judah. Thanks for a God of redemption!
