Vintage Grace: Worship into the Week- To Live is Christ

Worship into the Week-

Philippians 1:12-14, 19-30

The Advance of the Gospel

To Live is Christ

Paul was speaking to the people of Phillipi

and his circumstances were not good in prison.

Yet, he had this amazing trust that God

does not waste anything happening to us.

Paul could see the Gospel moving forward

even in his bad situation.

I have a pretty hard time setting

that standard and keeping it.

Living free and life well would be the good dream.

But, Paul understands that He belongs to the Lord-

whether dead or alive.

His is with Christ while alive,

but to be dead and with Jesus is even better.

But, that isn't his choice to make.

So he comes to a clear view of living the everyday:

v.27 "Only let your manner of life

be worthy of the gospel of Christ."

Worthy-

merit recognition

to balance the scales.

We are called to live as a child of God

and heir with Jesus.

We must pray that my life as a follower of Jesus

matches the great gift of my spiritual position

of heir to the Kingdom.

It is a simple, straightforward system of living.

Think Deeply, Act Justly,

and Live Wholeheartedly for Jesus.
