Two Divine Gifts
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake.
Philippians 1:29
Reading:
Philippians 1:18-29
Do I rejoice at Christ being preached, no matter how He’s preached?
Am I depending on the prayers of others as well as the provision of God’s Spirit?
Have I made my body available to Christ, so by it He may magnify Himself?
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” — seriously? How so?
What am I willing to endure for the “furtherance and joy of faith” of others?
My life; the Gospel of Christ — how well does the former fit the latter?
What are others hearing of my standing in and relationships with my home congregation?
Believing on Christ and suffering for His sake — can I learn to see them both as gifts from God’s hand?
