O_O Luckily we were at home ...
Paul had not yet obtained one here called "perfection", but running toward that goal.
In the past he had put his trust in the practices of Judaism, hoping to be able to get any advantage or gain in the presence of God Then he realized that this was just junk or something completely useless that did not bear any kind of spiritual gain. But now Paul
consider how much trash not only those things but everything.
He gave up everything, the only thing that is worth MONEY AND 'THE EXCELLENCE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS \u200b\u200bCHRIST'.
The starting point of this knowledge is to have the certainty of being found in Christ and not have to bring before God the other justice unless the justice of God which is through faith in Christ.
But this knowledge is only the beginning. Paul is not content with this, his goal is to reach excellency of the knowledge that an excellent knowledge of Christ. It 'obvious that he does not speak of a purely historical knowledge, but deep and spiritual.
The purpose of giving up everything, I may gain Christ and get justice of God which is based on faith is as follows:
1.conoscere Christ
2. power of his resurrection,
3. the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to him in his death.
the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus is to grab these things (for which we have already been grasped by Christ) as we prepare to come to the resurrection of the dead in the best possible way.
Again, as with the exercise of mercy in his first letter to Timothy, the comparison is to sports. It takes from us the determination to get this EXCELLENT KNOWLEDGE discouraged without leaving behind the past, falls,
failures, continue running, not stop running.
The goal of our heavenly calling is summed up in three points: 1
.
know Christ must be our aspiration to increase in us the awareness and appreciation for the person of Christ, for the riches that we have gotten into it, for his glory, his
size, the size of his love .
2. the power of his resurrection
the resurrection of Christ is our power. The power of the Risen Christ lives in us to guide us in doing the will of God through the Holy Spirit we have received. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you (Acts 1). I was given all power in heaven and on earth. Go then. (Mt 28). We are aware of this wealth that we received when God calls us to do His will?
3. the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to him in his death
The supreme aspiration of a child of God is to have the honor of suffering for Christ as Christ suffered for us. This contention does not mean trying to be persecuted. But growing up in us the reality described in the preceding paragraphs will not be sterile plants
but full of zeal for the things of God do the will of God may suffer our bodies, can cause inner pain or even cause an external persecution against us.
All this should not be cause for sadness but supreme joy in having the honor to suffer and / or die as our Lord.
Paul himself did not believe it has already achieved this excellent knowledge of Christ and calls himself and all the believers not to stand back and cultivate the desire to reach this goal each from the point at which it arrived.
WHAT 'THE MERCY'
the word translated as compassion can also be translated as devotion. In the original deadline
piety is not merely a practice
exterior but an interior attitude that is reflected back
in external practice.
This inner attitude as the foundation has three components: the fear of God
awareness of God's love God's desire
A man or woman of God who grows in his heart
the perception of the first two things, increase his thirst for God and will return to
a pure life.
Thinking of a pitiful life we \u200b\u200busually conduct a
flawless, but a pitiful life is primarily a personal relationship with God
Many people can practice good
conduct but without having a relationship of piety (devotion) to God
God wants us to be compassionate hearts.
The Word speaks of Enoch's piety in a few words:
Enoch walked with God (Genesis 5)
Enoch please God (Hebrews 11)
Enoch preached the coming of the Lord (Jude)
In the book of Genesis, God did not exist explains what to do for
Enoch walk with him. It does not say simply that we walk
God but God, who walked hand in hand, next to God, in short
talking about an intimate relationship between Enoch and God, so God took him away
with him.
The author of Hebrews tells us that Enoch pleased God because
He had a strong sense of who God is and
approached him in full assurance of faith. In other words, God-fearing,
was aware of the love of God and wanted God (= approached him).
Only in the last pages of the Bible we learn what he did
Enoch. But this is almost of secondary importance in defining its
devotion to God 'as a consequence. But what God
liked was the relationship that existed between them.
PITY THE 'TRAINING NEEDS
In the opening passage is in fact compared to training
sports. If sport is a useful little thing from the standpoint of eternity
because it can strengthen our bodies for only a
certain time of earthly life, the exercise of mercy is everlasting
utility because it is the promise of the life and future life
. As the sport to do this we need commitment
(personal responsibility), a coach (the Holy Spirit) and a lot
practice.
Much of this practice, it is a relationship with God, is
played with the Word of God (the knowledge of the truth is in compliance
godliness, Titus 1:1), not to deepen knowledge of intellectual realities
Bible but to grow our
fear of God, our awareness of His love and grow in us the desire of God with
guidance of the Holy Spirit.
The Word of God is heard (messages), read (read the entire Bible
), designed (to go in depth on a certain topic
), stored and meditation (meditation = murmur, complain or talk to themselves. This we store it meditating day and night and our written meditations can help us to gather a bit more).
The purpose of training is "earn" the pity: pity mood with contentment is great gain (1 Tim 6:6).
