"Paul's Letter to the Philippians — The Witness of the Apostle Paul — The Highest Calling of All”

In Philippians 3:11 the apostle reveals his hopeful expectation concerning this coming judgment.  This judgment is the judgment for believers, called also in two places the Judgment Seat of Christ (Rom. 14:10 & 2 Cor. 5:10).  This is NOT the Great Throne Judgment, of course.  Also he writes in the Corinthian letter of how this Judgment will be performed (1 Cor. 3:11-15).  So rewards will be given out and every believer will receive praise from God even though all works may be burned having been found to have not been founded truly on Jesus Christ.  But what does that really mean?  Paul teaches clearly here in Philippians chapter 3 that the issue is always one of motive (Phil. 2:5; 3:16-17) and accordingly one of our works being a response to law of any kind, rather than truly the fruit of faith in our Lord Jesus.  Paul is to be our example of this as written here in chapter 3: 13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
