Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death Who taught Paul all these Words, Jesus. 1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. I follow Paul, because he follow Jesus. LEARN
Matthew 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. If we follow Jesus, we must becarefull not to let our eyes or hands offend us, that why Jesus use Paul for the Church age of Grace, so we can follow him. Paul said follow ME.
Steve: all sin is of the devil period 1st John 3:8, I am an ex-sinner saved by grace. Is Christ your leader to do the devil's dirty work to sin? God forbid. Galations 2:17] But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. The Gentiles are circumcisde spiritually in Christ Jesus when we are saved by Grace.
The great thing about the salvation is, though we are all on different developmental levels in Christ, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. The message is always the same, Christ Jesus in us , the hope of glory.
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.
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.
