‏ Philippians 3:10-11

3:10 ^a to know Christ: In knowing him, a person knows and is accepted by God (cp. 3:7-8 ^b; John 1:12-13 ^c; 17:3 ^d).

• Believers experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead, both now and in eternity (see Rom 6:4-14 ^e; 8:10-11 ^f; Col 3:1-4 ^g).

• to suffer with him, sharing in his death: Joined to Christ, a believer has the privilege of experiencing his life and death (see Phil 1:29 ^h; 2 Cor 4:10-12 ⁱ; Col 1:24 ^j; 1 Pet 4:13-16 ^k).
3:11 ^l To experience the resurrection from the dead is to be saved from judgment and receive eternal life (see Rev 20:4-6 ^m). Paul was aware of God’s holiness and the severity of the final judgment (Rev 20:11-15 ⁿ); he knew he must persevere in his pursuit of Christ and salvation (cp. Gal 5:5 ^o).
