How can we find a lasting peace from God that surpasses all comprehension? The apostle Paul gives us four important tasks we must do if we hope to find this peace and greater confidence in our salvation.
We all know how easily worry creeps into our minds. However, Paul said to be anxious for nothing. So how can we put away worry and anxiety? We find the answer in today's passage.
Paul says we must rejoice in the Lord always, but how can we find joy in difficult seasons? We find the answer as we exposit this well-known passage in Philippians.
God has written the name of every true Christian in a heavenly book, and since before the earth was formed and even a thousand years from now, those who abide in Christ are perfectly sheltered in the Savior!
Turning to the fourth chapter of his letter to the Philippians, Paul shared his affection and love with this church, and offered a pastoral exhortation to remain strong in the faith.
As believers, we are adopted into God's family and given citizenship in heaven! And thus, we no longer have any need to lust after the things of this world but instead must eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Charming speakers, leaders, and pastors are drawing millions to a fiery, eternal grave by preaching a false gospel that is man-centered and tickles the ears of those who do not want to hear the truth.
No one is perfect, so what examples can believers use to gain and maintain a solid foundation of faith in a an evil world? The Apostle Paul gives us guidance.
Clearly there is both visible and spiritual evidence of salvation in the true Christian's life. For those who might argue against having the mind and heart described here, Paul is gently but decisively rejecting this attitude as spiritual immaturity.
Spending too much time looking in life's rearview mirror can hinder us from moving on to what God has for us down the road. And what lies ahead? The prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus!
