Text Today – Worth of the Gospel?
This text struck me this morning. How often to we forget this part of the gospel?
27Only carry out your activities in a way that is worthy Christ’s good news, so that whether I come and see you or whether I’m away, I’ll hear that you are standing firm in one spirit, putting out your effort together as one person to advance faith in the good news. 28Don’t be afraid of those who are against you under any circumstances. Their stand demonstrates that they are on the way to destruction, while yours shows you are on the way to salvation, and that it comes from God. 29Because you have been graciously granted not only the opportunity to believe in Christ, but also to suffer for him. 30You face the same battle that you saw me have, and now you hear I still have. — Philippians 1:27-30 (a bit paraphrased)
