My Prayer

[Cythia Jones]

That I may actually be found and known as in Him, and not having any self achieved righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law's demands, ritualistic uprighteness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired, by possessing that genuine righteousness which comes though faith in Christ, the Anointed One, the truly right standing with God, which comes from God by saving faith. For my determination purposed is that I may know Him that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His person more strongly and more clearly, and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection which exerts over believers, and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death, in the hope. That if possible I may attain to the spiritual and moral ressurection that lifts me out from among the dead even while in the body.
