Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 3:19-20

Philippians 3:19-20 I. Others, says St. Paul, have their mind set upon things below; appetite is their god; they make the Gospel itself a means of worldly gain; what they pride themselves upon is just what a Christian should be ashamed of; and the end of these things is death. When the world perishes, its children and its subjects must perish too. But we are not of the world. Already, even in this life, our citizenship is in heaven; and thither is our eye ever turned, in expectation of His... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 3:20

Philippians 3:20 Heaven the Christian's Home. I. "Our conversation is in heaven." Many are the meanings of this word, and every way the Apostle says we are in heaven. For the word, in the language in which God wrote it, means the city or state to which we belong, or citizenship, or the rules and order of a state by which it is governed, or the way of life of the citizens; and in all these ways he places us in heaven. Our home is in heaven. Yet so it might be, so in one sense it is, though we... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 3:20-21

Philippians 3:20-21 The Reunion of the Saints. I. "The body of our humiliation." What a word is that! It was not always thus. When God, in the solemn conclave of the Eternal Trinity, said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness," He could not have been speaking only of man's soul. The record of the Creation which follows is almost entirely corporeal. He must have been speaking of the entire man. In the likeness of Christ's body, God formed the body of Adam, not in the likeness of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Philippians 3:1-21

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. The keynote of the epistle is rejoice, and he said,Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord ( Philippians 3:1 ).You know, oftentimes it is extremely difficult to rejoice in circumstances. In fact, I think sometimes it is impossible to rejoice in circumstances. I just did a dumb thing, I ran through a red light... read more

Philippians 3:2 . Beware of dogs, judaizing teachers and false apostles, which bite and devour the flock; dogs which bark in ignorance against the person of Christ, and the gospel of God our Saviour. Paul had in view the rebuke given by Isaiah to the false prophets of Israel: Isaiah 56:10-11. Dogs that encompassed about both David and David’s Lord, and thirsted for their blood. Psalms 22:17; Psalms 22:21. Beware of evil workers, who corrupt the truth, and by every art seek to seduce and... read more

20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Ver. 20. For our conversation ] Our civil conversation, or our burgessship, a while we live by heaven’s laws, and go about our earthly businesses with heavenly minds; this a carnal man cannot skill of. b A fly cannot make of a flower what a bee can.
