Philippians 1:27-28b
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.
what does a life worthy of the gospel look like? Standing firm in one spirit, one mind, striving together for the gospel, not frightened. It is perserverance, communal (not individualistic), unity around the gospel, gospel partnership!
We have a tendency to drift rather than stand firm. To be selfish rather than of one mind. To procrastinate rather than strive together. To think individually rather than stand side by side.
