Let Your Conduct Be Worthy

Of The Gospel Of Christ

Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God. For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

Philippians 1:27-30

No matter how they do it, as we get older, people know that we can be hit upon more and more frequently. Do we have a retirement plan? Are we planning to move into elderly housing? Do we have enough insurance? No matter what we have it never seems to be enough.

Romans 14:13 tells us to: “stop passing judgment on one another.” 2 Corinthians 9:6 tells us: “Whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” Philippians 1 tells us: “Stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened.”

As we read God’s Word, we get vital reminders. Let’s take these seriously as from the heart of the Father who knows what honors Him and is best for us.

Holiness is simply Christ in us fulfilling the will

and commands of the Father.
