Verse 8
Apostle Paul had it all great achievements great doctrine great pedigree a rising pharisaic Judaiser none of these could be compared to his knowledge of the Son of God. Paul regretted nothing. I'm not like Paul I was found empty handed no achievements no Christian parents all I can boast of is Christ's goodness to me deliverances protection love great grace Thank you Lord for who you are.
I am grateful to be able to understand what Epistle Paul is telling us here,even though I'm little of understanding but yet being able to grasp on it, by the will of God.I pass it also to my children its a gift from God.
All my worldly achievements and praise I lay aside and count them as nothing (dung). I now press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling which is in Christ Jesus. This is often the trying of my faith because flesh feeds from such. Lord help me grasp knowledge of Christ that I may truly know Him in the power of his resurrection as I mature on this journey.
As long as Jesus lives we shall live also. What a wonderful God we serve. Jesus is a good Shephered who lays down his life for the Sheep. We are his Sheeps , therefore don't let your hands go off with God no matter what life we are facing for IT IS HE WHO HOLDS OUR TODAY AND TOMORROW IN THE PALM OF HIS HANDS. All battles belongs to God victory is already ours just thank Jesus
I like Philippians 3:14 KJV because I am a Minister and I am on Social Security Medicare and I sleep outdoors. I am usually very tired and a lot of people are sometimes mean but I ve been a Minister for a long time. I pray that one day I ll have that place I always wanted. Have a good day.
This verse calls up on me to stand firm perssivere in the walk with Christ, everyday nomatter what condition my life is in. It gives me hope for the reward that God has for me if i can perssivere everyday to the end.
Comment*
In verse 10 of above scripture, Apostle Paul prayed that I may know him, that's where our focus should be to know him, by the time we know him heaven must be our reward while his glory shall be our rereward on earth as it is recorded in Isaiah, pray that you may know him until you are lost in him.
JESUS CHRIST is God the Creator, the Father, the Son and our Saviour the Redeemer. Isaiah 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD and beside me there is no saviour. Luke 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Acts 13:23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: Philippians 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 1 Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Philippians 3:9 "And be found in him not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith."
True joy is only in the Lord Jesus Christ. Material things can bring temporary pleasure, but in the end always lead to suffering. We need to become more and more knowledgable of Jesus's sacrifice and power of resurection for all us sinners to have true joy in Chrust. We need to accept it as a personall priceless gift from someone who consiers each of us worth more than the entire world.
Without knowing Christ and the power that resurrected him from the grave our Christianity is empty and totally vain. Every believer should not only emulate Christ but also trudge on the true path he has paved for us, no matter the travails assailing us but this is our cross and we have been pre-equipped afore-time to prevail. Shalom
My Pastor just preach on knowing Him. Our goal as Christians should be to know him more, and more. Heaven is an aspect of knowing Him, a reward, but so not the goal. Heaven is a part of Him, but it is not Him.
PHILIPPIANS 3:7-14 COMMENTS 5 10 2015 12:21 AM Apostle Paul gives up all for Christ. V7-8Isa.53: 11 John17:3 V9Ps.143:2 Isa.64:6 Gal.2:16 2Pet.1:1 V10 1Pet.4:13 V11Luke20:11 Acts26:7 V12 1Tim.6:12 Heb.12:23 V13Heb.6:1 V14Heb12:1 Rom.9:23-24 Heb.3: 1. We must have a strong faith through by the Lord Jesus Christ. A-men.
who Christ is . the first aspect because for you to have felloship with him you need to first know his character. there is power to overcome evry situaton of life in his ressurection
Knowing JESUS CHRIST and the power of His resurrection indicates that we stopped looking at the circumstances around us I.e the difficult situations and time that we pass through and start looking unto Him that we have, knowing His worth and with the understanding that we can do all things in Him and are above every principalities no matter how much or bad we are afflicted, being ready to endure in His suffering. Let 's ask ourselves this question that, why did Apostle Paul later made this conviction " what can separate him from the love of Christ...hunger, tribulation, strife, nakedness, sword etc? He answered and said nothing, which in turns means he had finally come to realize the power of His resurrection. This conviction is worthy of emulation to the Christians of this end time generation. I pray may God help us all IJN. Amen
I desire to know my Lord more and more. Just to have salvation is good : but I want to go on and know Him better. The power of His resurrection is God: God raised Jesus from the dead : Even so when I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior I was raised from the dead. The sufferings of Christ is not easy but very rewarding : I desire to go on and know Him better every day. Praise God !!!!
paul said he was hebrew of hebrews he knew that his office was temperal, his position was questionable he was persecuting the church he met JESUS on the road to demascus and JESUS told him he was persecuting GOD he realize that his temperal position and his minding the things of world was causing his own seperation from GOD
