RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT COMES FROM GOD / PHILIPPIANS 3:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Philippians 3:9

 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT COMES FROM GOD / PHILIPPIANS 3:9

The righteousness of Christ’s followers (their right relationship with God and the power of His Spirit to live right by His standard) consists first of all in being forgiven, justified (Made right with God) and accepted by God through faith (Romans 4:5).

  1. However, our righteousness is more than this. God’s Word states that our righteousness is Christ Jesus Himself, living within our hearts (Philippians 1:20-21; Romans 8:10; 1 Corinthians 1:30; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 3:17; Colossians 3:14). This means that Jesus’ righteous character is being expressed through us. In the Old Testament, the Messiah (Savior, Christ) is referred to as the “righteous Branch” and “The Lord Our Righteousness” (Jeremiah 23:5-6). This means that the righteousness we have is not of ourselves but is from Jesus, in whom we put our faith (1 Corinthians 1:30; Galatians 2:20). Because of Christ’s personal sacrifice for our sins and His presence within us by the Holy Spirit, we become in Him “the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
  2. The basis for our spiritual salvation and our only hope of remaining in a right relationship with Him is the sacrificial death and shed blood of Christ (Romans 3:24; 4:25; 5:9; 8:3-4; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Galatians 1:4; 2:20; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 9:14; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 4:10) and His resurrection life from the Holy Spirit within our hearts (Romans 4:25; 5:9-10; 8:10-11; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:1-3; Romans 4:22).

THAT I MAY GAIN CHRIST / PHILIPPIANS 3:8-11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Philippians 3:8-11

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

THAT I MAY GAIN CHRIST / PHILIPPIANS 3:8-11

These verses reveal the apostle’s heart and the essence of Christianity. Paul’s greatest longing was to know Christ and to experience his personal presence and companionship in a more intimate way. Nothing else in Paul’s life even compared to this passionately earnest desire. In fact, everything else was like worthless “rubbish” (Philippians 3:8) compared to knowing Christ better. In his pursuit of a deeper relationship with Christ, Paul’s highest aims were:

  1. To know Christ intimately as a person, as well as to understand His ways, experience His companionship, comprehend His nature and develop His character as revealed in God’s Word. True knowledge of Christ involves listening to and studying His Word but also applying and experiencing the Word (Philippians 1:9), It requires following the Holy Spirit’s guidance in faith and obedience. It means identifying with Christ’s character, concerns and purposes. 
  2. To be found in Christ (Philippians 3:9), which means being united with Christ in such a way as to experience all the blessings and benefits of His character, power and promises (Philippians 1:10-11; 1 Corinthians 1:30). Paul wants his identity to be so completely wrapped up in his relationship with Christ that when others think of Paul, their attention is immediately drawn to Jesus.
  3. To know the power of His resurrection (Philippians 3:10), referring to the miraculous power that raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 8:11). Paul wanted to experience that same spiritually renewing, life-transforming, miracle-working, sin-crushing power in his own life and ministry (Romans 6:4; Ephesians 2:5-6). In the deepest sense, Paul knew that he would experience his own resurrection from the dead (Philippians 3:11; Ephesians 1:18-20).
  4. To share in Christ’s sufferings through self-denial (Mark 8:34), dying to the old self (Galatians 2:20) and suffering for the sake of Christ and His cause (Philippians 1:29; Acts 9:16; Romans 6:5-6; 1 Corinthians 15:31; 2 Corinthians 4:10; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 1:24; 1 Peter 4:13; Romans 8:17; 2 Corinthians 1:5; 4:8-18).

DOGS … MEN WHO DO EVIL … MUTILATORS / PHILIPPIANS 3:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Philippians 3:2

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

DOGS … MEN WHO DO EVIL … MUTILATORS / PHILIPPIANS 3:2

There is little doubt that Paul experienced his greatest grief in ministry because of those who twisted and misrepresented the true message of Christ and those who compromised or abandoned their faith as a result. His love for Christ, the church and the true message of spiritual salvation through faith in Christ was so strong that it caused him to boldly oppose those who perverted the truth. He described those who started such deception as “dogs” and “men who do evil” Philippians 1:17; Galatians 1:9; Matthew 23) because of the seriousness of their error and its spiritually destructive, devouring results. “Mutilators of the flesh” is Paul’s expression for the rite of circumcision as taught by the Judaizers (Galatians 2:4), who claimed that the Old Testament sign of circumcision (cutting away the foreskin from the penis) was necessary for salvation (Galatians 2:12). These false teachers had so distorted the meaning and purpose of the old covenant sign of circumcision that it had become nothing more than a useless cutting of the body (Philippians 3:3). Paul states that true circumcision is a result of the Holy Spirit’s work in the heart of a person when sin and evil are cut away (Philippians 3:3; Romans 2:29; Romans 2:25-29; Colossians 2:11).

KINGDOM TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU / MATTHEW 21:43

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 21:43

Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

KINGDOM TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU / MATTHEW 21:43

Israel rejected Jesus as their Messiah (the “Anointed one,” Savior, Christ), which revealed that they misunderstood Jesus’ purposes. The resisted in open rebellion against His plan of salvation. As a result, God’s kingdom and power are given to others – to those who respond positively to the message of Christ – whether they are Jew or Gentile (people from nations and cultures that are not Jewish, 1 Peter 2:9). This principle is still in operation. The kingdom and its power will be taken away from those who fail to remain faithful to Christ (Romans 11:19-22). Instead, it will be given to people who separate themselves from the ungodly beliefs and behaviors of the world and who pursue God’s standards and purposes above all else (Matthew 5:6; 6:33).

IF YOU HAVE FAITH / MATTHEW 21:21-22

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 21:21-22

Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

IF YOU HAVE FAITH / MATTHEW 21:21-22

Jesus describes a direct relationship between faith and answers to prayer (Matthew 21:22). Everything that is in line with God’s desires and purposes is possible – to do or to receive – for those who do not doubt (Matthew 17:20; Mark 11:24; 1 Kings 17:1, 7; 18:42-45; Luke 17:5-6). Of course, answers to prayer are also affected by other principles and behaviors (Daniel 10:12-14; James 4:3).

JESUS OVERTURNED THE TABLES / MATTHEW 21:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 21:12

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

JESUS OVERTURNED THE TABLES / MATTHEW 21:12

This appears to be the second time that Jesus entered the temple area and “cleansed” it from ungodly activity. John describes an occasion like this that occurred at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, but the details are somewhat different (John 2:13-22). Some scholars feel that these are descriptions of the same event from a different perspective and that John tells of this event at the beginning of his Gospel to show that God’s authority to judge was present in Christ from the start of His ministry. However, it is quite likely that Jesus had to confront this situation in the temple on more than one occasion since this activity was common in the temple area. Jesus’ strong actions show that hypocrisy, greed, selfish interest, immorality and disrespect in God’s house should have no place in the lives of those who identify with Christ. In fact, such behavior will bring God’s justified anger and judgment. Christ is Lord (the Leader and authority) of His church, and He demands that it be a “house of prayer” (Matthew 21:13).

THEIR GOD WILL SAVE THEM / ZECHARIAH 9:16-17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 9:16-17

 And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land. 17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

THEIR GOD WILL SAVE THEM / ZECHARIAH 9:16-17

The salvation that God brings to the world will reach a climax, or its highest point, when He restores Israel to the relationship He always desired to have with them. Because of all the years when God’s people rebelled against Him and rejected Christ as the Messiah, Israel’s restoration will be a crowning achievement in God’s plan of salvation, lifted up for the rest of the world to see. This result is guaranteed only because of the Lord’s great goodness and mercy, not because of anything people deserve. All that the Lord does for His people reflects His goodness and beauty.

GREECE / ZECHARIAH 9:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 9:13

When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

GREECE / ZECHARIAH 9:13

Greece rose to be the strongest and most influential power of the world in 480-479 B.C., when the Greeks defeated Xerxes of Persia. God would bring defeat to the Greeks as well. This prophecy was fulfilled in the defeat of Antiochus Epiphanes around 168 B.C. God accomplished this overthrow as a warrior Himself who used Judah as His bow and Ephraim (Israel) as arrows. The sons of Zion likely referred to the Maccabees (a rural family of priests who resisted Greek influence and won a series of military victories, giving the region of Judah renewed political and national power between the period of the Old Testament and New Testament. They attacked the sons of Greece, likely referring to the Seleucids of Syria (one of the four main portions of the empire of Alexander the Great that was divided among his generals following his death, Daniel 7:3).

PROCLAIM PEACE … RULE WILL EXTEND / ZECHARIAH 9:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 9:10

And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

PROCLAIM PEACE … RULE WILL EXTEND / ZECHARIAH 9:10

Without referring to the period between Christ’s resurrection and His return to earth, Zechariah jumps ahead to His second coming. (This is not the rapture of the church, when Christ suddenly takes His followers from the world to escape the tribulation judgments. Rather, this is His literal, physical return to earth following those judgments. After Christ’s triumph over the antichrist and his armies, there will be no more need for battle chariots, “war-horses” or any instrument of war. Christ’s peaceful rule will extend over the entire earth (Revelation 19-20).
