Believing in and Suffering for Christ

Our Love for God

Loving God by Trusting Christ

Submit to God in Love

Philippians 1:27-30 The Message

27-30 Meanwhile, live in such a way that you are a credit to the Message of Christ. Let nothing in your conduct hang on whether I come or not. Your conduct must be the same whether I show up to see things for myself or hear of it from a distance. Stand united, singular in vision, contending for people’s trust in the Message, the good news, not flinching or dodging in the slightest before the opposition. Your courage and unity will show them what they’re up against: defeat for them, victory for you—and both because of God. There’s far more to this life than trusting in Christ. There’s also suffering for him. And the suffering is as much a gift as the trusting. You’re involved in the same kind of struggle you saw me go through, on which you are now getting an updated report in this letter.

For Reflection

Live your life so that you are a credit to God and  Christ.  Live your life so that others will see the face of God in you. Live your life in the manner of Christ.

Pray

Pray so that you can grow into grace, equivalent in form to Christ.
