*A Testimony of Transformation*
*Philippians 3:1-4:1*
*March 3, 1996*
* *
Scripture:
Prayer:
Introduction:
*I.
CONTRAST IN PURPOSE*
* *
* A.
Commitment to spiritual purpose*
1~* Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord!
It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.
* B.
Caution against merely religious purpose*
2~* Watch out for those dogs, those men who do evil, those mutilators of the flesh.
*II.
CONTRAST IN TESTIMONY*
* *
* A.
Paul's spiritual testimony*
3~* For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh--
* B.
Paul's religious testimony*
* 1.
By his birth*
4~* though I myself have reasons for such confidence.
If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:
5~* circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews;
*2.
By his attainment*
in regard to the law, a Pharisee;
6~* as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic righteousness, faultless.
*III.
RENUNCIATION OF HIS RELIGIOUS TESTIMONY*
* *
* A.
Renunciation of profit*
7~* But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
*B. Renunciation of loss*
8~* What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.
I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ
\\ * C.
Renunciation of self-righteousness*
9~* and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-- the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.
* D.
Renunciation of self-life*
10~* I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
11~* and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
*IV.
RECOMMITMENT TO HIS SPIRITUAL TESTIMONY*
* *
* A.
Recommitment to glory in Christ's purpose, not his own*
12~* Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
* B.
Recommitment to the future, not the past*
13~* Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.
But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
* C.
Recommitment toward the calling of heavenly citizenship*
14~* I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
\\ *V.
THE POWERFUL APPEAL OF PERSONAL TESTIMONY*
* *
* A.
The positive appeal of a changed life*
* 1. Right thinking*
15~* All of us who are mature should take such a view of things.
And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.
* 2. Right living*
16~* Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
* 3.
Right example*
17~* Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.
* B.
The negative appeal of an unchanged life*
* 1. Wrong destination*
18~* For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
19~* Their destiny is destruction,
* 2. Wrong god*
their god is their stomach,
\\ * 3. Wrong glory*
and their glory is in their shame.
Their mind is on earthly things.
* C.
The heavenly appeal of a transformed life*
* 1. Glorious destination*
20~* But our citizenship is in heaven.
* 2. Glorious God*
And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
* 3. Glorious transformation*
21~* who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
*VI.
CONCLUSION*
* *
* Stand Firm*
1~* Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends!
