In Philippians 4:8 Paul says that his desire was to “gain Christ”. In verses 9-11 he shows us what gaining Christ looks like. This is best seen in three spiritual graces that are gifts from God to every believer in Jesus.

There’s an experience of rest, joy and strength that only comes from God as we turn to and trust in Him. In the book of Isaiah we see this clearly. God had offered rest to His chosen people, Israel. He had even sent them a prophet to deliver a message of hope.
