Pursuing Christ-likeness gives us balance

Main Idea: Christ-likeness protects us from libertines who indulge their flesh.

I. Paul's pursuit of Christ- likeness protected him from license to sin (3:17-21).

Philippians 3:17-19 NLT 17 Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example. 18 For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth."

TextInterpretationMormons Health & Wealth "Live as enemies of the cross of Christ" They oppose salvation by faith Salvation by works Money is better than salvation "Their destiny is destruction" They are unsaved Claim that all are saved but are not even saved themselves Rich people go to hell too "Their god is their stomach" Their real goal is pleasure Goal is to be a god to have sex with as many celestial wives as possible "Embrace comfort, not suffering" "Their glory is in their shame" They're proud about things that they should be ashamed of Temple polygamy is the highest goal Contrary to the blessing of giving "Their mind is on earthly things" They have "here-and-now" priorities "Become a god for ego and sex" They give to get something now 478 Modern LICENSE (Phil. 3:18-19)

Philippians 3:17-19 NLT 17 Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example. 18 For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth."

Bible Visual Resource Book, b Philippi in the Time of Paul Philippi was a rich, Roman colony with the same rights as the citizens of Rome! "But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior" (3:20 NLT )

We are promised heavenly bodies like Christ's (3:21 NLT )! 21 He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control.

We will get perfect bodies!
