3:16 (part 2) - Walk by the Same Rule

Philippians 3:16

Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.


You are now able to memorize:
John 3:16 > Jesus laying His life for us
1 John 3:16 >We ought, like wise, laying our life for our brethen

We can associate Philippians 3:16 (same chapter, same verse) with:

1)John 3:16 - It is by believing in Jesus, we are united in Him. Hence, in Phlilppians 3:16, Paul admonished us to walk the same rule and mind the same thing

2)1 John 3:16 - Walking the same rule and minding the same thing is a sense of unity; in which we love our brethen's life as we love ours'.

++++

Let us memorize Philippians 3:16:

"Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained,..."


By referring to the previous verse(that is verse 9), those "already attained" means those having the righteousness of Jesus.

so, after attaining the righteousness of Jesus Christ, what should we do?

"let us walk by the same rule,..."

and?

"let us mind the same thing."

++++

Did we walk the same rule and minding the same thing as prescribed in the Bible?

next: God Manifest in the Flesh(memorize 1 Timothy 3:16)
