Part 3: Life worthy of the Gospel

Pray these words:

Dear Jesus, Thank you for your grace and mercy towards me, that you paid the penalty for my sins. Please guide me through the scripture today, and show me the error in my own heart. I praise you today. In your name, Amen.

Philippians 1:27-30 reads:

“Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God. For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.”

Think About It: 

Past or present, in the midst of struggles have I stood strong in the Spirit of God?

Reflecting on these, where do I see opportunities for strengthening my faith?

Am I willing to suffer for the sake of Christ?

Pray these words:

Dear Jesus, Thank you for the reading of your word. In your name, Amen.
