Philippians 3:10-11

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Philippians 3:11

Being found in whom, after justification and sanctification, he doubts not to be glorified, (by a figure of a part, resurrection of the body, for the whole), though he expresseth himself as one that must pass through difficulties ere he attain not only to a spiritual resurrection from sin, but a glorious one of the body from the grave, even such a one as will be an elevation or ascension of the body united to the soul, not only exempted from the grave, but exalted into the air, to be for ever... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Philippians 3:9-11

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESPhilippians 3:9. Through the faith of Christ.—Better without the article as R.V. Faith is the medium by which righteousness comes.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 3:8-11

Philippians 3:8-11 The Cross Borne for us and in us. I. The whole of the Gospel is the doctrine of the Cross, but that twofold: the cross borne for us and the virtue and power of the Cross by the sacraments communicated to us and henceforth to be borne by us. By baptism we are made members of Him who for us was crucified; and our life from baptism to our death should be a practice of the Cross, a learning to be crucified, a crucifixion of our passions, appetites, desires, wills, until one by... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 3:10

Philippians 3:10 I. There is a fellowship of Christ's sufferings in relation to pain. The pains of life, inward and outward, are as varied as the bodies and souls on which they fasten. Our sensibilities to pain are very various: one thing hurts one person, and another another; that which is agony to me my neighbour scarcely feels. This is true of the roughnesses of life, and it is true of the calumnies of life, and it is true of the disappointments of life; it is true of those trials which come... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 3:10-11

Philippians 3:10-11 The Fellowship with Christ's Sufferings. I. It is manifest that there are senses in which we can have no community with our Lord in His sufferings, in which they were peculiar and His own. For they were meritorious sufferings, whereas we have not, and can never have, merit in God's sight; they were voluntary sufferings, whereas all our sufferings are deserved, being entailed upon us by sin. They were also distinct from ours in degree, as well as in kind. Jesus knew all... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Philippians 3:10

DISCOURSE: 2154THE POWER OF CHRIST’S RESURRECTIONPhilippians 3:10. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection.MANY think that religion is not an object of choice, but rather of compulsion and constraint: and hence they frequently suggest to the godly, that the measure of piety to which they aspire is not necessary. But true Christians do not regard God as a task-master, standing over them with a rod; but as a Father, delighting in the happiness of his children: and they desire to... 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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Philippians 3:1-21

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
