Life Worthy of the Gospel

Philippians 1:27-39

  Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy  of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm  in the one Spirit, striving together  as one for the faith of the gospel   without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.   For it has been granted to you  on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer  for him,   since you are going through the same struggle  you saw  I had, and now hear  that I still have.

Bible Tells Us - 

. Hanging On

James 1:12

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial  because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life  that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

. Life’s uncertainty teaches God can be trusted

John 6:69

We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

. Hiding Place

Psalm 16:1

Keep me safe,  my God,

 for in you I take refuge.

Psalm 32:7

You are my hiding place; 

 you will protect me from trouble 

 and surround me with songs of deliverance

. He fulfils God’s Promises

2 Corinthians 1:19-20

For the Son of God,  Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silas  and Timothy —was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always  been “Yes.”   For no matter how many promises  God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen”  is spoken by us to the glory of God.
