When we discussed Philippians recently, I felt such love and connection from the responses to
this question:
What are some of the ways we benefit
from the community we experience through the family of God? The
responses included:
- We uphold and support each other in times of need.
- We we share the same common bond, the same father, we are bothers and sisters in Christ.
- We all share Christ's love.
- We share the fruit of the spirit
- We share through the power of the Holy Spirit.
- We are in fellowship and partnership of growth in the gospel.
There are so many different types of
Christians, yet we all share something wonderful, our relationship
with the same father. We are hagios, which means set apart,
belonging to God. Romans 1:16 reminds us that the Gospel can reach
all of us.
The one thing that Lydia and the
jailer, two very different people, had in common, was a belief in
Jesus as God’s Son. Christ's saving grace saves both men and women,
rich and poor, and high and low classes. Our Savior's Grace is for
all, and it is up to us to take it to all others, without prejudice
or reserve.
- On top of being in prison, Paul has heard account of people preaching the gospel out of envy. What do you think your response would be if you heard about someone's selfish motives for sharing the gospel? What was Paul's point of view?
- According to 1:22-26, what advantage is there if Paul remains alive? What does he gain if he dies?
