The effect of their teaching was to take men further away from God instead of to bring them nearer to him. Videos. God, I thank you that I am so good," that pride and self-righteousness. It might have been thought that so much the more would Paul need his love and services. Another view is that Paul was hoping that he would persevere faithfully in his quest to know Christ until he died. This is where at least some of the Jews made the mistake. The resurrection of the dead - Paul believed that all the dead would be raised Acts 24:15; Acts 26:6-8; and in this respect he would certainly attain to the resurrection of the dead, in common with all mankind. It seems strange that if Paul wanted to distinguish between faithful and unfaithful believers here he would use the resurrection to do so. It was God the Father that made Him Lord and Christ, but God the Father never made Him Jehovah. But Paul was certain that the only kind of righteousness there is comes from casting oneself freely upon the grace of God. Hence we see the great importance of this truth. And this ground is one which always brings in the strength of the Holy Ghost, as it is based on God's mighty work of redemption. They were "manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; and many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by, my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. There is no looking at Him as Saviour on the cross merely; but when He comes for us, there will be in the filial sense (as ever in our epistle) "salvation." We provide you with a list of stored cookies on your computer in our domain so you can check what we stored. He counts all of the works of the past just wasted effort, refuse. This is open to the heart now. The other is what suits it, but a conferred position. This is the only allusion, as far as I know, to flesh in this epistle, but it is flesh in its religious form, and not as a source of evil lusts and passions. But the moment he has Christ before him thus, he judges according to the affections of Christ, and he looks at the need of saints here below. It was seen laid in the grave of Christ. "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice." Most preachers begin with the serious handicap that they have to say, not, "Do as I do," but, "Do as I say." As far as he was concerned, therefore, why could he choose? WHAT IT MEANS TO KNOW CHRIST ( Php_3:10-11 ). There was evidently energy among these Philippians. If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Beware of doers." The Greek phrase is ten exanastasin ten ek nekron. In point of fact the Ishmaelites could trace their descent to Abraham, for Ishmael was Abraham's son by Hagar; the Edomites could trace their descent to Isaac, for Esau, the founder of the Edomite nation, was Isaac's son; but it was the Israelites alone who could trace their descent to Jacob, whom God had called by the name of Israel. What is the Spirit now doing? By this claim Paul makes it clear that he is not an Ishmaelite, for the Ishmaelites were circumcised in their thirteenth year ( Genesis 17:25), nor a proselyte who had come late into the Jewish faith and been circumcised in manhood. "According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed." One cannot overlook the amazing strength with which he speaks even of his affections. He makes it clear that he continues to pursue his goal just as a runner might continue to run in order to receive the prize at the end of the race. What they did seems a much more proper thing, in my judgment, for a woman. Whoever they were, Paul reminds them of one great truth: "Our citizenship," he says, "is in heaven." Jesus wasn't resurrected until he first went to the cross. He has not attained this "perfection" as is evident from verses 12-16. But such things as I could humanly reckon as profits, I came to the conclusion were all loss for the sake of Jesus Christ. It is of great use in the Christian course to keep our eye upon heaven. He thus takes a common place with his beloved son in the gospel. J. "Being made conformable to his death:" this too is clearly in the world now. I do not say that the fruits of the loving service of any one of them will be forgotten there; nor that even glory will not bear the impress of that which has been really of the Holy Ghost here. At any rate, such is the picture that the Holy Spirit gives of him there. Real circumcision is devotion of heart and mind and life to God.". God was pleased, even whilst the apostle was alive, to set him aside and to prove the power of faith where he was not. of He associates Timothy with himself, not merely, as elsewhere, himself apostle and Timothy in some other relation, but here conjointly "Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ." 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. And any moment I could lose it. "They really did me wrong. It is called the resurrection of the just, and the resurrection of life (John 5:29), and they are counted worthy to obtain that world and the resurrection from the dead,Luke 20:35. Now she walks back out where all of the girls are waiting, and she said, "Look girls," and as they gasp in amazement at the glory and the beauty of the dress, she said, "This is something that I could have never purchased for myself. Dr. S. T. Bloomfield indeed (Addit. 3:17-21 Brothers, unite in imitating me, and keep your gaze on those who live, as you have seen us as an example. But, Lady Bountiful, seeing her interest in it, said to the clerk, wrap it up and have it sent to the car.When she got back to the dorm, she went into her room and she carefully unwrapped this dress, put it on; it fit perfectly. In Hebrew the verb is yada' ( H3045) and in Greek it is translated by ginoskein ( G1097) . Did he want more for himself? That is, they want still to live after the flesh so bad, that the idea of being crucified with Christ, the death of the old life, the death of the old man, the death of the old flesh life, is irritating to them. But Paul is willing to follow Jesus to the cross. Because of that, righteousness nearly always for Paul has the meaning of a right relationship with God. ", Blessed is this confidence in Christ, and wondrous are His ways! It is a description that might almost do for Christ himself, so high is the standard for those that belong to Christ. ", And now there is the most lovely picture of Christ again; for it is always Christ here, and this again practically. And did feel rather sorry for her. What God was interested in is that my heart was circumcised, that I had the heart after the Spirit, and not after the flesh. He is author of. Let us then try to see what Paul thinks about when he speaks about righteousness. 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. He had proved long the power and the joy of Christ for every day, and for every circumstance of it. body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself." They became Greek-speaking of necessity because they lived and moved in a Greek environment. He had to divest himself of every human claim of honour that he might accept in complete humility the mercy of God in Jesus Christ. Now he proceeds to give his reason. Returning, however, to the women Evodia and Syntyche, they had devoted themselves to an exceedingly happy and prized service. He was resurrected in a new body, patterned after the old yet equipped and fitted for heaven. Philippians 3:4b-14. "I make this judgment of the case; I thus reason with myself." It should be "the fruit of righteousness, which is by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.". You know, there are many people in the world tonight who have never had the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord. The word signifies the resurrection in general, both of the just and unjust; may signify that of the blessed only. the scope of the context) is as decidedly for as the weightiest external witnesses. "The prize" is "the crown of admits that the external testimony is quite in its favour, though it is hard to see what he means by the internal evidence being in this case denied; for he suggests himself that may have been a correction proceeding from those who thought that the sense which the context requires, "the resurrection from the dead," could not be extracted from . If anyone has reason to think that he has grounds for confidence in his human heritage and attainments, I have more. So, then, Paul claims that from his birth he was a God-fearing, Law-observing Jew; that his lineage was as pure as Jewish lineage could be; and that he belonged to the most aristocratic tribe of the Jews. Philippians 4:1-23 is founded on both. The apostle takes up, no doubt, the sweet affections of chapter 2, but then they are strengthened by the energy that Christ seen in glory imparts, as in chapter 3. Hence he thus opens, "Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown." And it is an interesting period in church history where those who are indulging their flesh look upon it as spiritual superiority. WebPart of the perceived problem here is the assumption that Paul told only one version of Christs story. And to be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but the righteousness which is of God, through faith. It is the same in Greek thought; the dog stands for everything that is shamelessly unclean. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord our righteousness, Isaiah 45:24; Jeremiah 23:6. It was a calm, fixed, cordial habit of their souls, which indeed had distinguished them from the first. True experience is still the great theme which the apostle has in hand here as well as in his own personal history. Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Philippians 3 .Again, remember that the background of this epistle, Paul is chained to a Roman soldier in Rome, in prison, writing to the Philippians. To abound in love is far from declension. You can have these things of your flesh, you know. So here at the beginning he simply takes the place of servant with Timothy, owning all the saints as well as the officials in their place: "To all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons." There is, however, a sure and only divine standard: as far as we have attained, our call is to walk in the same path. Forgive me, Lord. Such experience is both a real and a precious boon. "I beseech Evodia, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. But this will always prompt you to accept/refuse cookies when revisiting our site. "But my God shall supply all your need." Whatever the case, all should make sure that they do not slip back from the standard of practical holiness they have already reached (15-16). If by any means: The expression "If by any means" or "If in some way" seems to hint at doubt or uncertainty in Pauls mind that he would take part in the resurrection. 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. But if not, what then? It is the forming of the heart with the affections and the judgments of the Lord. Partner with StudyLight.org as God uses us to make a difference for those displaced by Russia's war on Ukraine. This explains the unusual word Paul employed that appears only here in the Greek New Testament. He was a Pharisee. When, under Rehoboam, the kingdom had been split up, ten of the tribes went off with Jeroboam and Benjamin was the only tribe which remained faithful with Judah ( 1 Kings 12:21). He has regarded his life on earth, particularly his former life as a Pharisee, as garbage compared to the life he now attains to, the life of knowing Christ. i. With us the dog is a well-loved animal, but it was not so in the East in the time of Jesus. In other words, "Give it all you have got.". And what is the true divine rule? The Gnostics were heretics who tried to intellectualize Christianity and make a kind of philosophy out of it. 1. For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness." Faithful believers only will obtain this out-resurrection and have abundance of joy forever. 3:2-3 Be on your guard against the dogs; be on your guard against the evil workers; be on your guard against the party of mutilation; for we are the truly circumcised, we who worship in the Spirit of God; we whose proud boast is in Jesus Christ, we who place no confidence in merely human things. II. So it is true with us. He knew well how much they might be tried by the report of his own imprisonment, and no deliverance coming as yet. ", And this nearness of Christ I take simply to be the blessed hope here made a practical power. This was now among the last outpourings of the apostle's heart, as he himself had almost arrived at the end of his active labours, if indeed it was not absolutely their end. Then Paul urges his followers to continue the Christian race as they have been taught. Philippians 3:1114 May 18, 2019. Wherever he taught, the Jews followed him and tried to undo his teaching. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind." 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. Paul was writing letters from A.D. 48 to A.D. 64, sixteen years, but we possess only thirteen. Far from him was the vanity of being the man first to preach Christ in the great metropolis. He puts it as a matter left for him to judge of and decide by Christ. The word concision comes from a Greek word, which means mutilators. And I may pull over to the side of the freeway and decide not to pass him so that I won't be a bad witness, and bow my head and say, "God, I am sorry. "Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived and bore Cain" ( Genesis 4:1). However elsewhere in his writings he was very confident that God would resurrect him and all believers (e.g., Romans 8:11; Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 6:14; 1 Corinthians 15:12-57; 2 Corinthians 4:14; 2 Corinthians 5:1-5; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 2 Timothy 2:18). "Beware of evil workers; beware of the concision. Our citizenship is in heaven, from which we look for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The past is translated into the present. For his sake I have had to undergo a total abandonment of all things, and I count them as nothing better than filth fit for the refuse heap, that I may make Christ my own, and that it may be clear to all that I am in him, not because of any righteousness of my own, that righteousness whose source is the Law, but because of the righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, the righteousness whose source is God and whose basis is faith. This place throughout is one of promoting, enlarging, deepening, and purifying the experience of the saints themselves in that which filled his own heart with joy in the Lord. The Message Update. WebPhilippians 2:1-5. Roman dress was worn; Roman magistrates governed; the Latin tongue was spoken; Roman justice was administered; Roman morals were observed. Not the passive side of the Christian as being in the world, but the active comes before us. and have no confidence in the flesh ( Philippians 3:3 ). I might attain unto - I may come to, or may secure this object. (ii) Our only boast is in Jesus Christ.

And that is in the glorious liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that relationship that we can now have with God apart from the law. 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. Yet these were evidently physical experiences, not spiritual realities. He was born and circumcised a Jew and trained to be a zealous law-abiding Pharisee, but he found that trying to do good by keeping laws could not make the guilty sinner acceptable to God. Its basis is that the Christian lives for ever in the presence of Jesus Christ. However exanastasis seems to be a very unusual word to use to describe the attainment of Christ-like character. 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). The trouble is not that of seeing its meaning; the trouble is that of finding one English word which covers all it includes. But the weakest of saints (how much more this greatest of the apostles!) So Paul states his attainments. They were those who denied that there was any law at all in the Christian life. This was precisely what he desired when a Jew. The passive shines in Christ coming down; the active is realized by the eye that is fixed on Christ, who is actually in glory. There were tens of thousands of them in Rome; and in Alexandria there were more than a million. "You remember Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, chapter 5 of Matthew, said, "Except your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and the Pharisees, you shall in no wise enter the kingdom of heaven." Here, accordingly, it is not the outgoings of love, but the zeal that burns indignantly as to what dishonours the Lord. Long, long before this, the great teachers and the great prophets had seen that circumcision of the flesh is by itself not nearly enough and that there was needed a spiritual circumcision. ( 1 Samuel 24:14, compare 2 Kings 8:13; Psalms 22:16; Psalms 22:20). I. ". "My desire is to know Him, and to be found in Him." "This robe of flesh I will drop and rise to reap the everlasting prize." Differences there may be among the saints, and especially when we come to the question of experience. The problem with this view is the unusual word used for the resurrection (Gr. "My joy and crown," "my dearly beloved." The Philippians were extremely giving towards Paul, both when he was with them (Acts 16:15, 16:32-34) and when he was apart from them (2 Corinthians 8:1-7, 9:1-4, and 11:9). Many different commentaries state that of all the groups that Paul wrote to, Phillipi was probably the best of them all. 10-11 I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself. 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? Jeremiah speaks of the uncircumcised ear, the ear that will not hear the word of God ( Jeremiah 6:10). The point is this. That he might be found in him (Philippians 3:9; Philippians 3:9), as the manslayer was found in the city of refuge, where he was safe from the avenger of blood, Numbers 35:25. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; that your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. Whatever he needed, love is never itself but in unselfish action and suffering. We know well that as men have sarcastically said, gratitude is a kind of fishing for fresh favours. Christian worship is not a thing of ritual or of the observation of details of the Law; it is a thing of the heart. "So Paul, he had done his best to clothe himself in righteousness by works, but then he came in to that glorious knowledge of Jesus Christ, and, "No longer," he said, "to be found in my own righteousness, which is of the law, my own making, my own work, but I will gladly exchange that for the glorious righteousness which God has accounted to me through my faith in Jesus Christ." In Php_3:15 he again uses teleios ( G5046) and says that this must be the attitude of those who are teleios ( G5046) . So Paul says that in the Christian life we must forget every past achievement and remember only the goal which lies ahead. He desired not anything for himself, but only what should abound to their account in the day of Jesus Christ. I just did a dumb thing, I ran through a red light and hit somebody and I am being sued for a million dollars. "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ." He met Christ on the Damascus road. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. being made conformable unto his death; if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead ( Philippians 3:10-11 ). Who can understand why it should be "suitable to the persons addressed," on Dr. B's showing? It is not one who cherished a trust in the Lord's fidelity spite of what was visible. He was too much bent on what was before to be occupied with calling to mind what was behind him; it must have impeded him in the race. That which men call by this name is really the trial of what flesh is under law much more than experience of Christ. But whatever might be their own proper joy, whatever might be their delight in that which God works in the church, they had full and simple-hearted fellowship with His good news. This were to spoil all, because it would please the flesh. Paul claims that not only was he a Jew who had retained his ancestral religion, but he had also devoted his whole life to its most rigorous observance.
