Firm in the Spirit
Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; in no way alarmed by your opponents—which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.
We are too often preoccupied with how our conduct appears to others rather than how it speaks of our image of God.
We are too frequently anxious about our self-protection rather than with our witnessing to the gospel we know to be true.
We too seldom remember to stand firm in the spirit in a manner worthy of our call.
Our recent journey with Jeremiah reminds us that in most days of our lives we can do little about our circumstances . . . but that we can do much about living in a manner worthy.
Enter the word worthy into the blog search bar and explore the worthiness we encounter . . . and the worthiness we engender. Compare the different versions of these verses by using the scripture link above. Choose other editions of the Bible and reflect on the value of Worthy Conduct.
