Philippians Chapter 3 Discussion Page 6

The knowledge of Jesus and his power or the power that raised him from the dead, is the beginning of sight of any child of God. Nobody really knows Jesus Christ intimately the more and remained the same. The knowledge of Jesus God makes the difference in any child of God 's life. I still want to know him to the power that raised from the dead, l am not yet satisfied. I want to know him the More...Lord Jesus l need to know you more of you. Please get to know him Jesus your life will never remained the same...

Don 't really understand it. I got a msg to read this when I was sleeping.

We most not look at our SIN 'S that are be hind us because they are black . We most look in to the future which is in CHRIST JESUS were there is light . Light has nothing to do with darkness .

IT IS A CONFESSION OF ONE WHO LONGS AND THIRSTS AFTER GOD, WHO IS READY TO MOVE ON WITH GOD EVERY INCH TO THE END OF LIFE 'S JOURNEY WHATEVER HAPPENS.

Is it possible that destruction just means physical death? Why would we assume that it means hell?

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers beware of the concision Be on the watch against dogs, against the workers of evil, against those of the circumcision. Pual was talking to the people in the church and even those that are not church, you must watch, you see there are tow types of people that come to church, 1. You have church folks and all you need to dfo is have your name on the roll and you can treat the Lord 's people anyway you want, 2. You have christain and being a christains you must be born again and when you are born again you become rightoueness and you treat people the way the Lord do,

knowing him is not abt reading about, it is about experiencing. it is having a close contact nd connecting with him daily. we know home by dwelling under his presence. in 1 Samuel 3, Samuel was serving in the temple of God by he never knew him until he decided to sleep neer the Ark of God which signifies the lords presence

The presence of God has all it takes to transform our corruptable body and make it His own. And all our activities on earth will be by his divine direction no more our wills Rom. 12 1 2

Paul had left many things behind and done many things he regretted when he formerly persecuted the Christian congregation. He chose not to live in the past, but to look ahead to the future. We can learn from his example because we can 't change the past, but we do have the choice to start making good decisions for our future.

so, how do we apply this warning today? i see that in protestant churches, circumcision is replaced, disguised, as "formal membership ", or covenanting with a certain body of saints. it is a kind of cutting away, member nonmember. the nonmembers refusing to put any confidence in the flesh, even giving up the privileges attached to membership, to remain in the truth that it is christ who has made us members by the spirit, and there is no higher degree of membership to consign oneself to. but rather, faith expressed thru love.

love phil 3 12 14 because it just speeks to me in so many diffrent ways

this passage is critical stating that if your mind is on earthly things your living as God 's enemy. So basically we need to set our minds on things above, because if you dont you wont go to heaven

The power of His Resurrection is a great hope for every believer to know that we have a place in Christ here on earth and the after life.

knowing God and the power of his resurrection is knowing the exceeding great power of God which put one above principalities and powers Eph.1 18 23

Knowing him is a great treasure in ones life, because one feels the presence of God in his daily live. Knowing Him also suggest that Christ is put first in all your endeavours. KnowingHim also enables one to see his power and appropriate them rightly etc

Im new in christ i like how it said tht in 13 god doesnt count our flaws but want us to ptess on towrds the mark which is christ jesus

knowing christ is the ultimate for every child of God not just graving for his power but in suffering and death just as christ choose to suffer and die for mankind

this aspiration of bro Paul should also be every christians hunger too for He alone satisfies

Gives up anything that can hinder u from knowing God better: character, relationship, materialism, time etc. Never be satisfied with the level you have known God. He is eager to be revealed more to you. Sacrify that barrier.

Search for motive. Paul had the zeal and interest of the followers at hand. Enquire both in prayer and interaction before u support any opinion to the end.

salvation and christian living is a transaction in whish the recipient emptied himself of all merits to take up the merits of Christ .God in return gives him all he supposedly lost because HE will owe no man

matt10;37-39he that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me;and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;he that takes not his cross and follow me is not worthy of me;he that finds his live shall lose it;and he that lose his live for my sake shall find it.matt6;24no man can serve two masters ;for either he will hate the one,and love the other,or else he will hold to the one ,and despise the other,you cannot serve God and mammon

I agree with the scripture above I'm struggling with that it no difference with anything else we struggle with in our life sin has no favorites in Gods eye sight


Demi bey

I love this theme much! I am eager to know Christ the more.

Yes! Despite paul's credentials enumerated in the same philipians 3:10 he counted them all as noting but, lost because of christ to share in his suffering I pray this to be all christians pray and zeal even in this contemporary time amen !

this is a verse that dropped in my heart when I was in dire straits. I have accepted Christ. I see the blood accomplish great things for me the blood but I needed the other weapon in Revelation 12:11 "they overcame him through the blood and the word of their testimony". This experience involved may not be pleasant but it arms us for battle as aptly put in James so that we may know him vet the more because he knows us but we don't know Him. Two cannot walk that way; it must be reciprocal as Job found out: ..but know I have seen you with my own eyes and I repent in ashes!

I want to experience life of the Son of God who died for me yet i was still sinner ,He has forgiven me by his unfailing love. His blood that was shed ,it was for remisssion of my iniquities ,victory is on bearing long suffering from Bethlehem ,He never sinned and on third day, He rose again ,this is my hope that though i am dead ,through Him life comes in me such that Christlike is reflected within me. To Him be the Glory forevermore , Amen!

Every child of God should aspire to know Christ the more,meaning daily becoming like Christ in words and deeds till He comes to perfect all that concerns us. Its a daily living and must till perfection is reached in Christ.

This is one of the highest prayers ever prayed in the scripture. Just like the prayer of Moses the servant of God in Exodus 33:18. These people had great hunger for the things of God and the manifestation of his powers, yet, they desired for more and more and God answered their prayers. It's the type of prayer every believer should pray.

if you rmind is on earthly things, you are an enemy of Jesus...period.
