Bible Question:
This verse is supposed to be me… a Christian… a person who has accepted Jesus Christ into my heart… so then… consider (think, judge, deem, mull over, reflect on, believe) Jesus. I think of how God has called me to know Him more, more deeply… not just on a shallow worship foundation, but a more intimate walk… where do I go from here as I read this above verse? I know that I have a passion to know Him more.. I feel a determined purpose ignited in my soul! (Philippians 3:10 [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly]) I know this is what I want, but clearly my plans and my purposes interfere with this… clearly I want my own way, my frustration, discouragement and lack of trust witnesses to this. I want God to do things my way, I want to dictate my plan.. I think it is better.. I think I know best what I want. I wonder if the problem is found in the above verse where it says if I am consecrated and set apart for God … Who share in the heavenly calling… What is the heavenly calling? Do I share in it? Is my heart undivided when it comes to the heavenly calling? I don’t know. I am not sure what this heavenly calling refers to. Do any of these verses explain the heavenly calling? Is there a verse that does? I want to know if I am sharing in the heavenly calling! Philippians 3:14 (amplified) I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. John 17:3 (amplified) "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. Philippians 3:3 (amplified) For we [Christians] are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit and by the Spirit of God and exult and glory and pride ourselves in Jesus Christ, and put no confidence or dependence [on what we are] in the flesh and on outward privileges and physical advantages and external appearances-- |
Bible Answer: Hello Always4him, I think the answer to your question is found in the life of Paul who said the following before the verse you mentioned. Philip. 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Combine this with 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Those verses are a good working equation to anyone's calling. God uses prepared people, CDBJ |
