Title Philippians 3:17-21
Contents
A couple with one child are fighting back.
Reason?
Who do you resemble? is to do
The fun thing is...
When they were young, they fight each other saying that they resemble each other.
But...
When you grow up...
They fight because they don't resemble each other.
Ironic, isn't it?
Yet one thing is the same...
They just want to see each other's strengths.
Who do we resemble?
Dad?
Mom?
But some say...
Are you like Jesus?
Isn't that crazy?
Wouldn't it be great to be like Jesus?
In fact, the Bible tells us that we resemble God.
That is why the words given to us have authority...
But it's a pity that we can't live like that.
Paul says so today.
17 Brethren, imitate me together, and show those who walk in the same way as we have set an example.
If I boiled Paul as an example...
I must set an example for others.
This is the real living force.
If you see something, you are supposed to do it.
This means that you can do it as it is.
Disciples worship the Lord..
Elisha and Elijah...
I'd say it's the same thing.
18 As I have told you many times, I still say this with tears in my eyes, for many are enemies of the cross of Christ.
19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, their glory is in their shame, who think of the things of the earth.
Why did Paul tell you to be like yourself.. And you told me to set an example like that?
It is for living.
This means that he is imitating Christ.
Otherwise. .Destruction awaits.
Look at Paul.
I cry when I see people running down the road of death.
You can't say it's normal, can you? That's right. The life of a saint may not be a normal person to the people of the world.
Why are there so many tears?
Do you feel like you're doing it all alone?
Why not lead a normal life?
Because you have to live a solitary life while living in this world.
Because this world is not our settlement.
Because we have a company to receive.
20 But our citizenship is in heaven, from which we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
21 He will transform our lowly bodies to be like his glorious body, by the power of him who can bring all things into subjection to him.
But... we are citizens of heaven.
Expedition birth...
All Americans envy.
They mistakenly believe that a stable life is guaranteed.
But... it's not. But... everyone wants to have American citizenship.
So they work hard and invest.
that you should go to America.
However. .Heavenly citizenship is also available here.
If America is good, isn't the kingdom of God even better?
If this land is the purpose of everything... This is how we live.
However..
Because our life on this earth is not the purpose... We can not live with regrets on this earth.
