Philippians 1:27 part 2
Note: For the Summer we are reprinting some devotions that ran back when we were getting this site up and running. Hopefully this is new content to you, and we will get back into writing fresh devotions as our schedule allows.
27 Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News.
Yesterday I posted about the importance of seeing yourself as a citizen of Heaven. Today I want to focus on what it means to live in a manner worthy of the Good News. When Paul talks about standing together, it doesn't mean that you'll never disagree with someone, but when someone on the outside looks in at us they should see us standing together. Unity is key in the Christian church. When the believers in the early church were together in unity, it was then that the Spirit of God poured out.
Because we're citizens of Heaven, be willing to let the small stuff slide, and God is going to use us to do some amazing things.
