We shall see the importance of this elsewhere. I believe that a woman shines most where she does not appear. But how can you attain the resurrection of the dead unless you, first of all, have died? So he tells them that he always thus remembered them for their "fellowship with the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that he who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.".

But while he was on his way, just before arriving in Damascus about noontime, there came a light from heaven brighter than the noonday sun. Jesus is Jehovah, although a man; consequently the bowing in that name to the glory of God the Father does not occur to the apostle. When Saul is seeking to take his life, David's demand is: "After whom do you pursue? Yet we may follow, and seek conformity unto His death; but there was that in His death on the cross which could be His alone. We may see the moral harmony of that lot with his testimony, and how suitable it seems that he, who was above all men identified with the gospel of the glory of Christ, should be a prisoner, and nothing but a prisoner in Rome. It is not a question of acceptance in Christ. It is needless to recount the comments on these words. Webpresents an easy reading, practical and friendly commentary. Timothy was very dear to him, and was then with him; but he is going to part with the one that was so much the more valued by him in his solitariness and sorrow because of his circumstances at Rome. The trouble is not that of seeing its meaning; the trouble is that of finding one English word which covers all it includes. Observe, [2.] Not in a figurative sense, the resurrection from the death of sin to a life of grace, of which Christ is It was not so with the Philippians. Who have had more mournful proofs of the danger of putting saints practically in the place of Christ? But the Rapture is not an event that Christians need to strive to attain. The manner, too, in which these things happened seemed to make all as remote as possible from furthering the gospel; but here again he brings in Christ. Not only was an utterly wrong spirit indulged in the work itself, and toward others engaged actually in it; but even as to the apostle, shut out from such service, a desire to pain and wound was not wanting. Impossible that anything done by other saints should turn to one's acceptance any more than what is done by himself The apostle uses salvation throughout his letter to the Philippians (nor is it confined to this scripture only) in the sense of the complete and final triumph over all the power of Satan. "You know, if you only had enough faith, you could be jetting across the United States also in your own Lear Jet." The scriptures affirm clearly the assurance of salvation; yet: Paul wants to impress upon us the difficulties, struggles, and hindrances that attend the believers life. But he said he cast that over for the knowledge of Jesus Christ. "Yea," said he, "and I count all things but loss." The point Paul is making here is similar to that in Romans 8:17, which says, "we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him." WebMatthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Philippians 3:9-14. It is not that you have failed, perhaps, or broken down in some particular. He had done everything that he was supposed to do according to the law to be righteous. Alter and Matthaei followed according to their plan the manuscripts before them; but the latter was too good a scholar not to feel the difference, though he appears to impute it to a corrector for the sake of elegance in his second edition. There are two chief stages of His humiliation flowing out of His perfect love. A prisoner he was; and such is all that Scripture tells about him there. Is He really so far from any of those that call upon Him? When that event takes place God will snatch Christians out from among the spiritually dead (unbelievers). 2. All of this background that put me in a high standing as far as the law is concerned I counted loss for Christ. But Paul is willing to follow Jesus to the cross. Whatever you desire, just ask God, insist on God, command God. Generally the NASB is more literal, translating a Greek word with the same English word wherever the Greek word occurs. And observe, too, that the apostle felt the value of others' prayers. Nevertheless there is that which is suited only to the conditions of time; there is that which, given here, survives all change. The NASB translators captured this idea when they rendered this phrase "the resurrection from among the dead." Such was the apostle's faith. So, let this be your mind, let this be your attitude, follow me. Not so Paul. To suffer for the faith is not a penalty, it is a privilege, for thereby we share the very work of Christ. The one therefore, I say, is the passive side of the Christian; the other is his activity. The peace which God has in everything He will communicate to keep you in everything; and not only so, but the heart, being free from care, will enter into what pleases Him. "You see, the angel doesn't have to erase the righteousness and then rewrite it, or whatever. And Jesus said, "Get thee behind me, Satan, you offend me." Paul sets out three. Accordingly he prays for them, that as they had shown this true and unabated love for himself as Christ's servant, so their love might abound yet more and more, and this too in knowledge and in all judgment. The tribe of Benjamin had the place of honour in Israel's battle-line, so that the battle-cry of Israel was: "After thee, O Benjamin!" It would be the equivalent in England of saying that he came over with the Normans or in America that he traced his descent to the Pilgrim fathers. It was this that so cheered the apostle's heart in his loneliness often, in his desertion sometimes, when the sight of a brother would have given fresh courage to his heart. But now the apostle turns to the use that he makes of so blessed a pattern, "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence." He is author of. The great feast of Purim, which was observed every year with such rejoicing, commemorated the deliverance of which the Book of Esther tells, and the central figure of that story was Mordecai, a Benjaminite. It is not legal experience, for which you must turn to the chapter spoken of inRomans 7:1-25; Romans 7:1-25, the only bit of a saint's experience under law, as far as I know, that the New Testament affords (certainly in the epistles). It is the apostle giving us what his heart was occupied with when he could not go forth in the activities of work, and when it seemed as if he had nothing to do. "if I live in the flesh, it is worth my while." If this be borne in mind a large part of the difficulty that some have found completely disappears. Probably Paul meant that he hoped he would live to experience the Rapture, the "out-resurrection from among the dead," before he died. And why should our Lord adopt a correct form to the Sadducees (Luke 20:1-47 repeated inActs 4:1-37; Acts 4:1-37), and Paul an incorrect one to the Philippians? "Let your moderation be known unto all men. The NIV is more paraphrastic, translating a Greek word with any number of English synonyms to make the English translation more readable. We now heard what the apostle renounced; let us now see what he laid hold on, and resolved to cleave to, namely, Christ and heaven. Because He was interested in the heavenly kingdom. We may enjoy the "fancy things" at meat times, but it is the basic foods on which we live. It was to Israel that they in the most special sense traced their heritage. Press On! Yet most people today have never heard of John Gill. a. When first he tasted it, he found it so sweet that he cared for none other. Much akin to Pauls straining toward what is ahead; this racers concentration on Does he question the assurance of his salvation? It will be observed that there is no such thing in the first instance as "to the glory of God," when we hear of all bowing in the name of Jesus. "Again I say, Rejoice." I mean, if you can be saved by works, if you can be saved by your own efforts, if you can be saved by keeping the law, then Paul said, "Hey, I am ahead of the pack. Again, Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended (Philippians 3:13; Philippians 3:13), ou logizomai. Paul had discovered that a right relationship with God is based not on Law but on faith in Jesus Christ. The Lord is at hand." In Deuteronomy the Law brings together the price of a dog and the hire of a whore, and declares that neither must be offered to God ( Deuteronomy 23:18). It speaks of believers who were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. All believers will be resurrected, but there is a better one for those who endure. "Help them" (says he) "with Clement also, and with my other fellow-labourers, whose names are in the book of life. Hence it is that, although doctrine is sparse, if not almost excluded, nevertheless what little appears comes in as ancillary to the main purpose. But then this monumental statement. 3:12-16 Not that I have already obtained this, or that I am already all complete but I press on to try to grasp that for which I have been grasped by Jesus Christ. For his was a heart deeply sensible of love, and consequently he was not one that had sought either to make the saints dependent upon him, and still less did the apostle depend on the saints for anything that was the fruit of grace in them. #1 I press on. That is to say, he was not only an Israelite; he belonged to the elite of Israel. Though he wist not to choose what between the two before, when the need of souls rises before him, he says that he shall live, and is not yet going to die. ( Psalms 69:9). By calling himself an Israelite, Paul stressed the absolute purity of his descent. "I'll show you a mystery, we are not going to all sleep, but we are all going to be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of any eye. This is the object set before us inPhilippians 3:1-21; Philippians 3:1-21. "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ." Thus the two things are repeated the past judgment and the present power: "and do count them but dung, that I may, win Christ." He therefore puts all his energy into his efforts to reach this goal, just as a runner strains every muscle to reach the finishing line and gain the prize (12-14).Mature Christians will have the attitude to life that Paul has just outlined. Does not our love fervently flame towards heaven? (Spurgeon). The fellowship of His sufferings.Our flesh always rebels against suffering. It was not some sudden fit, if one may so say, nor was it the influence of passing circumstances. A Hebrew was a Jew who was not only of pure racial descent but who had deliberately, and often laboriously, retained the Hebrew tongue. There is really no value to say I counted those things loss for Christ thirty years ago, if in the meantime I have picked them back up and I am encumbered with them again. You will never get into a right relationship with God by your own efforts in keeping the Law. "In nothing," says he, "terrified by your adversaries [this is the other side]: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. He had a work for you to fulfill. "This robe of flesh I will drop and rise to reap the everlasting prize." That is, the resurrection of those who, having died in the Lord, rise to glory and honour; and hence St. Paul uses a peculiar word which occurs no where else in the New Testament, . The words that Paul used seem to indicate that he was thinking of a resurrection from among those who were dead. I just can't rise above it. When Paul stated that he was of the tribe of Benjamin, it was a claim that he was not simply an Israelite but that he belonged to the highest aristocracy of Israel. Philippians 3:1114: Can I Really Have Assurance? This is wholly distinct from His own intrinsic eternal glory. That isn't a real representative of You. To abound in love is far from declension. Then he uses two vivid pictures. Had it been a question of his apostolic dignity, this could not have been; but an apostle even could, and did, and loved to, take the place of one that served others whom he viewed directly in their relationship to Christ. Thus, then, he prays for them, and to this end, not that they might become more intelligent merely not that they might grow more able to discourse of divine things, though I doubt not that there would be growth in these respects also; but all here has an eminently practical form, "that ye may approve things that are more excellent; that ye may be pure and without offence till the day of Christ." There is really no reason to suppose that they preached at all. It is the only place in Scripture where the phrase means, not simply the righteousness of God in point of character, but the righteousness of God in point of source.

Many hence have wrongly gathered that they were preachers. But while a man is quite unfit to do a woman's work, can it be doubted that a woman brings no honour to herself, or to the Lord, by attempting to do a man's task? Even, therefore, if you could have (what is impossible) ever so much real spiritual knowledge along with Christ, who would so much as notice these acquisitions in comparison with Christ? You may be perfectly sure of an answer when you make known your requests: therefore let it be with thanksgiving. It was this which Paul sought - this for which he strove - this that was so bright an object in his eye that it was to be secured at any sacrifice. The new body, the building of God not made with human hands, the eternal house that God has created for my spirit. He is my Lord." To know Christ means that we share the way he walked; we share the Cross he bore; we share the death he died; and finally we share the life he lives for evermore. Himself the striking witness to the contrary, he looked for nothing less in the saints he so dearly loved. But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly. The Lord knew exactly what He intended for you to do. There would be no question of his being a part of such a resurrection." And so, too, he could now read and interpret all things in that bright light around him. "Therefore," says he, though I am in a strait betwixt two," as he had said before, "having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. The other is what suits it, but a conferred position. If by any means - Implying, that he meant to make use of the most strenuous exertions to obtain the object.

(1-2) Warning against the influence of legalistic Faithful believers only will obtain this out-resurrection and have abundance of joy forever. They were more obedient in his absence than in his presence. It is not sentiment, but a genuine feeling, thus "looking not each at his own things, but each also at the things of others." They are living in the past, the past glories. But let us not be turned aside, and think that it is merely a question of believing and of knowing our place secure; but let us live of that very Christ who is our life. Not seldom do they begin to question whether it can be possible that such a one is really of value to the church of God. It is not our laying hold of Christ first, but his laying hold of us, which is our happiness and salvation. There was another party of Gnostics who held a different kind of doctrine. Here and there at strategic military centres the Romans set down their colonies. There is a pun in the Greek which is not transferable to English. After a dead dog! All believers will be resurrected and have joy forever. It is not meant that there are no difficulties, but that Christ makes the burden light and all happy to the praise of God's grace; whereas any other means or measure detracts from His glory and draws attention to self. WebPhilippians 3:14 Once a man or woman has trusted the Lord Jesus as Saviour, he embarks on a race through life to the finishing post. WebFor we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit ( Philippians 3:3 ), Paul was constantly emphasizing that the physical rites had no value except there be a I love that phrase. Because I may blow my horn and shake my fist, but the Spirit will say, "Hey, don't you remember you have got a fish emblem on the back of your car? Such a notion is unknown to scripture, and revolting to the spiritual mind. It is not the Lord at hand to succour one now and here from time to time. Obviously this out-resurrection is something which is capable of many degrees depending on the measure of ones faithfulness. What they did seems a much more proper thing, in my judgment, for a woman. (ii) To that end Paul says two things. Once you are right about Christ, you are right about everything while He is before you. "Hey, I tried it before. It is something that I could have never made for myself, but it was given to me by Lady Bountiful. 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: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Thus, as at the beginning of the chapter, there was the energy that went out against the evil workers, with a religious mind after the flesh, so now there is the energy that bursts forth against those that were misusing Christianity, making it an earthly system, setting their mind on things here below, under the name of the Lord Jesus; and between the two, is set forth the positiveness, if one may so speak, of Christ Himself. I had everything going for me as far as righteousness from the law. She laid the thing out, carefully cut it out, but she really had never sewn anything before. They are stagnating now. ", And what is it that gave such a hope to one that owns himself the chief of sinners and less than the least of all saints? This is illustrated in several instances. They are out there, there are many of them. Paul said, "I have not yet apprehended that for which I was apprehended. You can have these things of your flesh, you know. What is it that brings us into the blessed fellowship that we enjoy? And there is not now merely His riches of grace, but he looks forward into the glory where he was going, and can say, "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.". "That I may win Christ," therefore he says; "and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law." What a God is ours, so to treat that which, connected with the world, Christ Himself calls "unrighteous mammon!" Paul did not express doubt by this statement; he asserted a fact. And she saw this young girl, modeling her dress and she said, "Would you mind going with me?"

It is part of the verb ginoskein ( G1097) , which almost always indicates personal knowledge. When Christ laid hold of us, it was to bring us to heaven; and to apprehend that for which he apprehended us is to attain the perfection of our bliss.
