Striving Together for the Faith of the Gospel Philippians 1:27-30

Philippians 1:27-30 V. 27, Stand firm, 1 spirit, 1 mind, together V. 28, Adversaries will present opposition V. 29, Suffering involved

Our relationship in Christ helps us stand fast. It is His design that we be a system of support and encouragement for each other. Galatians 6:1-2 Hebrews 10:23-25 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

Sometimes we fail. Philippians 2:3, 14, 4:2 Galatians 5:15  But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! Hebrews 10:26-27; 12:14-15 1 Thessalonians 5:6-8

It is ongoing hard work to stick together. Ephesians 4:1-3 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Strong’s G4704, spoudazō to exert one's self, endeavor, give diligence

We must have unity. Philippians 2:1-2 Like-minded, same love, one accord, one mind John 17:20-23 How can we be like minded? Philippians 3:16-17

The attitude that makes it possible Philippians 2:3-4 Don’t be selfish Esteem others better than self. Look out for the interests of others. Romans 12:10, 15:1-3; 1 Corinthians 10:24

Follow Christ’s Example. Philippians 2:5-11 Jesus left the glory of Heaven to take on flesh and be a servant. John 1:1-3, 14 Matthew 20:20-28
