LESSON 3 * PART 4 * BOOK 39
Philippians 1:28–3:2
Paul’s salvation message to the Gentile Body of Christ is found in I Corinthians 15:1-4. and Romans 10:9-10, and looks nothing like the salvation message preached by Peter.
Where everything that Paul writes concerns the resurrected Lord. And after our Lord ascended to His place in glory He revealed all the mysteries to this apostle for the Body of Christ in this Age of Grace. So consequently his message is pretty much to the Gentile world, and especially to the Gentile believers of the Body of Christ.
Don’t try to force part of Peter’s message into Paul’s message or vice-a-versa. Don’t try to force something in Scripture that the Lord Himself didn’t force. So to make things simple, just keep Paul’s writings to the Church Age believers separate from the rest of Scripture for your Christian walk and doctrine. Now coming back to our study in Philippians chapter 2, and let’s start with verse 16. In verse 15 we finished with Paul telling us that we are in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation. Now verse 16.
Philippians 2:16
" Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain."
Now of course we covered this several programs back, "The day of Christ is the end of the Church Age when Christ will come for His bride, the Body of Christ and meet us in the air." More and more are teaching that the Church will go into or through it, but always remember our best argument is, "That you cannot mix Law and Grace, You can not mix Israel and the Body of Christ, the Church,"
So remember before God can pick up and finish His last seven years with the nation of Israel, the Gentile Church, the Body of Christ has to be removed, and consequently then that’s what we call the day of Christ, when we’re called up to Him and go back into glory.
The indwelling Holy Spirit which is the down payment of a believer, and that also can be found only in Paul’s writing, and all these other glorious mysteries concerning the Body of Christ that were given to Paul only, then it follows that all the aspects of the Church Age having come from the writings of Paul then the end of the Church would also be in Paul’s writings, and indeed it does in I Corinthians 15:51-58 and I Thessalonians 4:13-18. No where else is the Rapture of the Church foretold. Philippians 2:16
"Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, (Paul really thought that he would live to see the day when Christ would return and take the Church out) that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain."
"Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all."
He could joy and rejoice because of all that God had done throughout the Roman Empire, but especially when he was seeing the Roman guards and people in the palace coming to a knowledge of salvation through his Gospel and Christ. Now verse 18.
Philippians 2:18
"For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me."
Almost everyday we get a letter where someone has come to know the Lord or has led someone to the Lord. Philippians 2:19
Epaphroditus had ministered to Paul’s needs in Rome, and the poor fellow must have just about died of some kind of an illness or something.
Now verse 27.
Philippians 2:27
Philippians 2:28
Philippians 3:1a
"Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord...."
In spite of the persecution, and the constant pressure that was on all the Gentile believers, as well as Paul in prison. Now when I say Gentile believers, you always have to remember that the Judaisers hated Christianity. The Jewish people were fighting Paul’s little Churches tooth and nail, because it was a complete change of direction from Judaism, and that’s what Grace and Law are. So Paul says, "in spite of all these circumstances rejoice!
Philippians 3:1-2
"Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. 2. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision."
Nothings changed. II Peter 2:1-2a
Alright, the word pernicious is appropriate here, because that’s exactly what false teachers are going to do with the teachings that these believers are resting on. II Peter 2:2
The truth is not well spoken of today, because people don’t want the truth. Now verse 3.
II Peter 2:3
Well let’s drop on down to verse 12. II Peter 2:12-13a
Now back to Philippians chapter 3, verse 2 again.
Philippians 3:2
"Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision."
This passage is dealing with the Gentile congregation up at Antioch.
Acts 15:1
"And certain men which came down from Judaea (the believing Jerusalem assembly) taught the brethren, (these Gentile believers) and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved."
Now you see why you’ve got to separate Peter and Paul?
