032 To Gain Christ: Philippians 3:1-11


Listen Later

In order to know God and obtain His righteousness, you must forsake your vainglorious deeds of self-righteousness and gain Christ.

PNP: In Philippians 3:1-11 Paul teaches us about the necessity for abandoning our confidence in the self-righteous deeds of the flesh, hoping that they will make us righteous before God. Instead, he teaches that we must look on those things as rubbish in comparison to the glory of knowing Christ.

EXEGETICAL OUTLINE:

  1. The Lead In: Rejoice in the Lord (v1)
  2. The True Circumcision (v2-4a)
  3. The Loss for the Gain (v7-11)
  4. [2Ti 2:10-13 NKJV] 10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 [This is] a faithful saying: For if we died with [Him], We shall also live with [Him]. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with [Him]. If we deny [Him], He also will deny us. 13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.
