Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel.
Acts 28:30-31
He lived there two whole years at his own expense and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.
Jesus' gospel is simply this: the kingdom of God has now, through Jesus, become available for ordinary human beings to live in. It's here. Now. You can live in it if you want to. God is present here and now. God is acting. You can revise your plans for living around this cosmic opportunity to daily experience God's favor and power.
John Ortberg
'Gospel' is the announcement that everything has changed in the coming of Jesus and it leads us to a new kind of living. It is a kingdom of God lifestyle with allegiance to a King as the ultimate restorer.

God is becoming King, and he is doing it through Jesus! And therefore, phew! God's justice, God's peace, God's world is going to be renewed.

In God’s kingdom, everything is exactly how God wants it to be.
Through the cross, there is forgiveness of sin, restoration of God's image, and restoration of our heavenly vocation to fill and subdue the earth.
The kingdom of God has become available to you through Jesus, so whatever happens, keep living your lives based on the reality of the greatest announcement of all time.
A life formed with the gospel in mind is a life dripping with humility.
Humility: renouncing self-centered pursuits, actively regarding others in the best light possible, paying attention to the concerns and interests of others.
To live a life in a manner worthy of the gospel, we need to be people whose hearts and minds are directed away from self and toward others in the practice of attentive, humble service.
Philippians 2:6-11
Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Blessed be his name, he stoops, and stoops, and stoops, and when he reaches our level and becomes man, he stoops, and stoops & stoops, lower and deeper yet.
Spurgeon
No one ever humbled himself more than Jesus. No one ever started so high, and no one ever descended so low. No one has ever given up as much as Jesus gave up.
How to cultivate a humble heart:
1 - Calculate One Another.
Count = To Calculate
(+) Needs Of Others
(-) Your Personal Interest
= What Would Benefit Others
2 - Concern Yourself With Small Things.
Ministry of the Small Things (The Little Way) = Unrecognized Conquests Over Selfishness.
3 - Cooperate with God.
Sanctification is the lifelong process of pursuing holiness—the process of God's continuing work in his beloved.
Sanctification is working out what God has worked in.
Grace is opposed to EARNING. Grace is not opposed to EFFORT.
Philippians 2:14-15
Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world
