- 0:29three. The Enemies of the Cross, the enemies of the Cross, Philippians,
- 0:37chapter three, eighteen. For many work of whom I have told you
- 0:42often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of
- 0:49the cross, that they are the enemies of the cross. They are the
- 0:55enemies of the cross. This is Suppose writing to the Philip, and he
- 1:00was referring to what he began from this two to explain to them the kind
- 1:04of people that they should watch out for and they should avoid, so that
- 1:10they do not corrupt the body. They do not corrupt the body of Christ.
- 1:14And so if we read Philippians chapter three, verse two, we see
- 1:17that post said beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of concision,
- 1:22for we are. Then he begins to explain who we are, our
- 1:26identity in the kingdom. So back to the people that he's telling us.
- 1:30Now that he has told us about which are the dogs, She said,
- 1:34we should be aware of dogs. So the word dog is coined from is
- 1:38coined from the Greek word go hoon, which literally figuratively means dog. And
- 1:44the idea the world. And the word that is in simili that is used
- 1:48in place of this world is the word coward, which is for people who
- 1:52act cowardly cowardly. So these were the first people that Paul says we should
- 1:57be aware of. The second the evil workers. These are those who have
- 2:01dedicated their lives to carrying out evil practices. Yes, now the third is
- 2:07concision. He said, we should be aware of what con condition is means
- 2:10mutilation, which is which occurs from culture, psychology of people. And you
- 2:16know, so mutilation shows that them talks about people harming themselves, you know,
- 2:23causing pain or disfigurement to oneself or to another person or in the name
- 2:29of a psychology or an ideology that has been formed down either generations or through
- 2:36time. These categories of people that Paul is telling that we should be aware
- 2:40of the enemies of the cross means that they whatever they do stands against the
- 2:46Cross. So those who act cowardly, which are the dogs, they tend
- 2:51to lack fit. They tend not to have faith in God, and the
- 2:53vibesy without fit is possible to work. Please God. Then the evil workers
- 2:58are those who follow the line of the fruits of iniquity. Remember Galician Chatter
- 3:04five, verse nineteen, which talks about the works of the flesh, which
- 3:07are manifests, communication and cleanness, laviciousness and the lattery which craft hatred,
- 3:12variance, you know, rod strife, heressies, and a lot of things
- 3:15that arise. These are the works of inequity. These are evil works.
- 3:19Yes, these are the fruits of the works of evil workers. Pulses that
- 3:23we should avoid, beware of them. And lastly, conscision that's mutilation,
- 3:28people who bring up ideology that tends to harm, that tends to cause pain
- 3:34to oneself in all in the name of a practice, a practice that tries
- 3:39to show to prove one's righteousness or one's gen neweness to righteousness. This is
- 3:46totally wrong because we don't need to prove our right and we are the righteousness
- 3:50of God through crisis, so we don't need works. We don't need to
- 3:53go in the way of mutilation to show prove our righteousness before God will be
- 4:00aware of these kind of people. They are enemies of the cross. They
- 4:02feel that they feel that Jesus is not enough blessed with God. Now,
- 4:06going back to Philippians, chapter three, from verse eighteen paces for many work
- 4:12of whom I have told you often, and now tell you, even weeping,
- 4:15that they are the enemies of the cross. They are the enemies of
- 4:19the Cross of Christ. They are the enemies of the Cross of Christ,
- 4:25whose end is destruction. Now pause begins to tell us where they are headed,
- 4:29their direction, their end, whose end is distress, and whose God
- 4:33is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame? Who mind leatings,
- 4:38who are conscious, they are very much conscious of vanity more than eternity.
- 4:44The enemies, the enemies of the cross, are simply those who bend,
- 4:48who bend and twist the truths, the truths of the world of God,
- 4:53the truth of Christ. If not that for their self gained for their
- 4:57belly, why because they are conscious of vanity. So anybody, any man
- 5:02that is more conscious of vanity, is an enemy of the Cross. Anybody,
- 5:08any man who places vanity over eternity, over the parity. The necessity
- 5:15of eternity is an enemy of the Cross. But those who are conscious of
- 5:21eternity, who seek the works of eternity, who go not according to whom
- 5:26we have explained, but according to the Spirit of Christ walking in the spirit,
- 5:30they are of the Cross. They are soldiers of the Cross. They
- 5:34are with the Cross. I remain the fate campaign of Christ. Be God,
- 5:40fiedence be God, films. Blessed be God. For eternity ka faith
