In this message we consider what Paul had written about the true gospel, and the effort we put into living for Christ, just before telling the church, "Let those of us who are mature think this way" (Philippians 3:15).
Because this chapter included a very personal testimony, Paul did not want to leave us thinking that this was good for him, but not for us. All those who are mature in Jesus Christ will think the same things about the gospel, and how much effort we put into working out our salvation with fear and trembling while God is working in us to will and to work for his good pleasure (Philippians 2:12-13).
Join us in affirming the message of pure grace, and obedient faith, that lead the church to continue maturing in our Lord Jesus Christ.
