Recommended: Preliminary research philippians 2:1-11

The passage I chose was Philippians 2:9-11, “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”. This passage has much meaning to because this is the conclusion that is already written on what is going to happen. In Philippians 2:9-11, we are learning that Jesus became the greatest example of a humble service by coming to earth in humility, being obedient, and dying on the cross. This is very powerful and we are coming to terms that Jesus Christ is Lord and eventually everyone will submit to Him. This message was that the only way to get to God is through His son Jesus Christ. No matter who you are or where you are at it will be …show more content…

Paul describes Jesus Christ as one willing to be humble, in obedience to God the Father. It shows how Jesus willingness to humble Himself for us. Jesus didn’t come to us as God or King but as a human being. Jesus went through a lot of trouble and humiliation because of his will to follow the Father, for Him to be sacrifice for our sins. Jesus prove Himself to be the perfect Son of God by leaving his heavenly position to become a servant so He could rescue and redeem us. His power was shown when he died on the cross and resurrected. Because of what Jesus did God will honor him with highest honor and glory and eventually everyone will admit that Jesus Christ is, in fact Lord. Because of what Jesus Christ did God has exalted him above al and everyone will submit to Jesus as Lord, to the glory of God the Father. There will be one day will every knee will bow because the day is coming whether people accept it or not in the spirit world in heaven and in human world everyone will bow to Jesus

  • Paul's Letter To The Galatians Analysis

    1434 Words  | 3 Pages

    When one reads the New Testament, a contradiction appears in reading Paul and James’ teachings concerning ‘faith’ and ‘works’. There is also question about the word ‘justified’ as to its meaning. In Paul’s letter to the Galatians, Paul writes this “16 yet we know that a person is justified[a] not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ.[b] And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ,[c] and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law,” in 2:16. (NRSV) And in Galatians 3:6-7 says this, “6 Just as Abraham “believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” 7 so, you see, those who believe are the descendants of Abraham.” (NRSV) Paul also stated in Romans a similar idea, “28 For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law,” in 3:28. In chapter 4 of Romans, Paul uses Abraham as an example from

  • The New Testament: Ephesians

    1642 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout many of Paul’s letters there are many debates pertaining to the authorship, destination, date, and the purpose. In the book of Ephesians many scholars debate on the authorship and if Paul actually wrote the letter, or if it was a scribe. Although there are some debates on whether Paul actually wrote it or not, he does refer to himself twice in the letter. In 1:1 and in 3:1 Paul states himself, 1:3 states, “For this reason, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles” (NIV) In verse 1:3 Paul states that he is a prisoner, therefore it is debated that he did not specifically write this because he was imprisoned in Rome at this time. According to Wallace “This, of course, is not to say that the letter must be by Paul, but it is to argue that without such internal testimony, no such claim could be made” (Wallace). Many scholars also debate on the vocabulary usage and the structure of the letter. Some believe that the structure is similar, but the vocabulary seems to be different than his New Testament epistles. Hoehner claims that,” Though the book has a close affinity with Colossians, critics claim that Ephesians is uncharacteristic of Paul” (Hoehner 613). The destination of Ephesians is somewhat debated, but many do believe that the letter was sent to the church of Ephesus. “Some to claim that Ephesus is a better starting point, others suggest Caesarea.” (Wallace) Although this is an argument that has many valid points, it is obvious that Paul was imprisoned in Rome while he wrote Ephesians. It is said by Hoehner that “Ephesians was probably delivered by Tychicus (Eph. 6:21-22), who also took Paul’s letter to Colossians (Col. 4:7-9)” (Hoehner 613). As for the date goes m...

    In the beginning of chapter 12 he writes, “Present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice”, and “Do not be conformed to this world” . Much of the errors and trials that Paul dealt with in his “Epistles”, were because the believers had conformed their lives to the world and not to God. The Lord wants us to see His glory. He has created an incredibly beautiful and marvelously expanding universe to proclaim His glory and omnipotence. He has given us Jesus Christ to reveal Himself to us. He does not withdraw Himself, cover Himself and hide Himself. He is bringing a revelation of His glory throughout all His creation and He will be seen in all the earth. This is the beauty of the gospel message. The scriptures declare that the earth is filled with the glory of God. "The whole earth is full of His glory." (Isaiah 6:3) At present we are not aware of it, but it will be manifested throughout the earth. "Nevertheless, as surely as I live, and as surely as the glory of the Lord fills the whole earth” (Numbers

  • The Old Testament: Foreshadowing the New Testament

    1955 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the days of Christ’s life on this earth, believers did not have access to the Bible in its entirety as we know and are familiar with today. Believers in this ancient time period only had access to the Old Testament. However, through their access to the Old Testament, believers were provided a foundation for New Testament times. This foundation provided New Testament believers with the Lord’s established principles of right and wrong they were expected to follow. In addition, the Old Testament is overflowing with accounts of people whose lives exemplified the future life of Christ on this earth. These pictures allowed the Israelite nation to begin to have an understanding of why Christ needed to come as their Messiah and the work He needed to do on earth. Finally, there are common themes that are interwoven throughout the entire Old Testament. Three of these themes: transgression, redemption, and consummation point to the purpose of Christ’s atoning death on the cross. These themes portray God’s work both in the lives of Old Testament believers, but they also foreshadow God’s desire and plan for believers in New Testament times and beyond.

    Finally, the last book of the Bible inspires hope in the lives of the worshipping church. It depicts they day when God and the Church will be united forever and face-to-face. No longer will there be a temple to go and meet God, because God himself will be the temple (Revelation 21:22). The hope for ultimate intimacy with God forever drives the focus and vision of the church to worship in the meantime. Through good or bad, easy or difficult, success or failure, pleasure or pain… the reality of intimate worship with God for eternity gives strength and eager expectation of the New Earth to come.

    The Messiah left the people hopeful by explaining how easy it is to enter the kingdom of Heaven. According to Matthew 5:3-12, the people with righteous hearts will definitely inherit the kingdom of Heaven. Jesus inspires everyone to be humble, merciful, peaceful, and kind to one another, and he also mentions the importance of forgiveness and love several times, portraying his loving nature. Christ warns the nations to not fear persecution, because their reward in heaven will be great. Jesus mentions that Christians are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. However, salt without saltiness is worthless; hence, Christians without spiritual knowledge won’t get far in life. Christ motivates Christians to stand out by being loving, kind, compassionate; a reflection of Jesus so that unbelievers are eager to become Christians as well (New International Version, Matt.5:13-17). Additionally, he mentions the consequences of murder, adultery, and divorce. He talks about the sincerity of oaths and the importance of loving your enemies and giving to the poor. Jesus preaches about the importance of prayer because it is the way of communicating with the Lord. The Lord favors intimate and personal prayers over hypocritical prayers in public (New International Version, Matt.5.21-33,43, 6.1-5,25). Christ mentions the

It was here I made a vow to the Lord in the faith that I would find remembrance. As I made this vow and fulfilled it, the Lord opened doors that I can truly say would not have been opened if I didn’t respond to the word to ‘seek first the kingdom’. Out of this time, the Lord blessed me financially, led me to buy a home and healed my anxious heart. It was here that I began to find testimony before God through offering.

    The message is straightforward and tells us that we should be preparing for the coming of the Lord. Although in Journey into God’s Word we are advised to look for the differences in what a text meant back then to what it means now, I believe that the message is the same to the audience in biblical times as it is to us today (Duvall & Hays, 2008, p.15-16). I know that I personally need to remember Matthew 25:10. As I go throughout my day I often find myself getting caught up in what this world has to offer and forgetting that my true purpose is preparing for Christ’s return. I don’t want to put the Lord’s second coming on the back burner of my mind though and be left behind due to my unpreparedness. These stories serve as a reminder to me that each day I need to be living my life for Christ and telling others about His saving love because not only do we not know which day will be our last but we also do not know when Jesus will return
