AMPLIFIED 2015 | Philippians 1:27 ¶ Only [be sure to] lead your lives in a manner [that will be] worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I do come and see you or remain absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit [and one purpose], with one mind striving side by side [as if in combat] for the faith of the gospel. |
Bible Question: What does it mean to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel. Phil 127-30 |
Bible Answer: This is Pauls letter to the Philippi. In the begining of this letter he is telling them about his imprisonment for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is telling the Philippi that no matter what happens to him (Paul) act or conduct yourself in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. At this time, Paul does not know if he will be killed or tortured or what for spreading the Good News. But he does know that it is very important to always act/conduct yourself in a good and godly manner. When things don't go according to what we want, it is so easy to fly off the handle or attack back towards someone else. But Philippians 1: 27-30 tells us to conduct ourselves in a way that will honor Jesus. Paul goes on to tell the Philippi that will also suffer for Jesus. In these times we are also to conduct ourselves in a way that will bring glory to the Father. Saying all of that, I have failed at this miserably many different times, but after reading this passage it gives me a refresher on how to conduct myself in times of adversity. I hope this helps you. |
