Philippian 3:1-11

Philipian 3:1

"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."

Caution:

Philipian 3:2

"Watch out for those dogs, those men who do evil, those mutilators of the flesh."

Philipian 3:9

"I consider them [profit] rubbish ,that I may gain in Christ and be found in him,not having my 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."

Philipian 3:9

"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, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead."

Lessons from the "Righteousness"

- I feel the "Righteousness" is not from my own thinking, from the law book. I want to understand more the word "Righteousness",  so I look it up. Here is what I get: "Righteousness = the quality of being morally right or justifiable." We tend to define our own meaning of "Righteousness" but we need to ask God first. Our faith, complete trust, must be the first formost to understand his "Righteousness".

However,

Faith is not there yet for you. You need to ask, you need to talk to Him. Faith starts when you take time to close you eyes and send your prayer to God.


II. "Resurrection", "Sharing", and "Sufferings"

"Becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, 
to attain the resurrection from the dead"

Being changed is must be from the inside-out, not outside-in. God, please help me to change. Death in this bible vere is a pure intelligent concept. Death means change. A man who is going through change is a man is SUFFERING (doubtful, sickness, sorrow, unbelieving). 

Remember how Jesus was suffering: 

being mocked, 

being betrayed,

being aparted,

being alone,

being beaten up,

being nailed,

However, what makes him still go through those challenges. He has FAITH in human kinds. He does EVERYTHING WITHOUT COMPLAINING OR ARGUING and He REJOICE IN THE LORD! Change or transform need the hand of God to unite with us and we need to comply with His rules.

Để được thay đổi, hãy nhớ có 5 thứ sẽ đánh "lén" bạn:
1. Sự nghi ngờ, ko tin tưởng --> Đánh cắp niềm tin. Thuốc: Pray to God, read bible, and talk to Him, talk to yourself. Convince yourself that you see the vision.

2. Thiếu sự kỷ luật ----> Đánh cắp đi hành động của niềm tin. Thuốc: Bản kỷ luật và bản review

3. Sợ hãi, tránh né ----> Đánh cắp đi thái độ muốn thay đổi của bạn. Thuốc: thể thao, nói chuyện với người có sự can đảm, đối đầu

4. Thói quen xấu -----> Dẫn bạn đi lẫn quẩn trong cái cũ của bản thân. Thuốc: thói quen tốt, luyện tập thói quen đó

5. Con người xấu -----> Những con người ko chịu thay đổi và muốn bạn như họ. Thuốc: Bạn có Chúa là người bạn tốt nhất. Lấy quyển kinh thánh và đọc đi. Dùng lời Chúa để chiến đấu.
