Joy/Full – Worthy of the Gospel | Philippians 1:27-30

Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
Philippians 1:27-30 “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then,
whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. 29For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, 30 since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.”

Gospel = Good News 
But until we see how bad the bad news was, we can’t appreciate how Good the Good News is.

You will STAND firm in the one Spirit.
You will STRIVE together as one for the faith.

Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, (Paul encourages us in Galatians) for at the proper time
we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
