CONDUCT WORTHY OF THE GOSPEL

Philippians 1:27-30

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.

Personal Challenge

The gospel of Christ is the message of grace, mercy, love, joy, and peace. It is a message loving God above all else and loving our neighbor above ourselves. We are charged by Paul to live our lives in a way that is worthy of that gospel. That means living out those expectations every moment of every day. We are to do this whether someone is watching or not. We are to do this whether it is easy or hard. He do this by standing fast together as brothers and sisters in Christ in one spirit and one mind. We do this knowing that God will bring us through all adversities. Glory be to God!
