Discuss Philippians 3 Page 10

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.

In verse 8 Paul viewed the things he had left behind as dung. He viewed spiritual blessings as a greater gain than any material things he had before.

Philippians 3:20-21 - For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:    Colossians 3:2 - Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

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.

His Word is Life Jesus is the Word... I am over joy to be a child of God. In the name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Amen Hallelujah Amen !!!

Felicia, I loved what you said; God bless you.

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.

As a believer in Christ we are to set all the things we do on Christ and Heaven and leave alone the petty stuff of what we call daily living

Phillipians 3 is one of the most important chapter that explained the issue of denying yourself daily and take up the cross to follow Christ.

Phillippians 3:8 teaches about sacrificing those things that are precious to us for the attainment of the Excellency of Christ Jesus.

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.

We must continue stretching forward to the things ahead in order to continue to make progress as verse 13 shows.

awesome man

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.

To God I give all the honour and all the glory. The Lord is real and is alive!!! I Love the Lord. He lets me know that he reigns !

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.

My thoughts are always focused on The All Mighty, My God and Savior through His Son JESUS CHRIST.

I thank God for teaching how to press in all situations. Jesus pd it all. Our Mark should be Heavenly focus.

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 prayer every day is,may the whole nation be save through the power of his resurrection amen

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.

That was a good test .Study to show your work
