Read the sermon text: Philippians 3:7-11

Read the sermon summary: In this passage Paul wants the Philippian Christians to understand that no deeds but only Christ can make us righteous before God. When we have an intimate relationship with Christ we are already justified, in the process of being sanctified, and already, but not yet, glorified! Being right with God (being saved) is all about knowing Christ because only the surpassing value to know Christ brings identification in Christ, justification through Christ, sanctification in Christ, and glorification with Christ.

Read the following song lyrics in relation to the sermon: 

This I Believe (The Creed)

Our Father everlasting
The all creating One
God Almighty
Through Your Holy Spirit
Conceiving Christ the Son
Jesus our Saviour

Chorus

I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is three in One
I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the Name of Jesus

Our judge and our defender
Suffered and crucified
Forgiveness is in You
Descended into darkness
You rose in glorious life
Forever seated high

I believe in You
I believe You rose again
I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord

I believe in life eternal
I believe in the virgin birth
I believe in the saints' communion
And in Your holy Church
I believe in the resurrection
When Jesus comes again
For I believe in the Name of Jesus
