community as a sign (phil 1:28b)

Philippians 1:28b
This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God.

What is the clear sign of destruction/salvation? The life described in the previous verse. Perservering gospel partnership. Unity between natural enemies. Peace in the face of opposition. Opponents see that and start to realise it's not going away. Seeing the Christian community in action is a powerful witness to non-christians
