Day 2- Philippians 1:27a

What struck me in this verse is that the Gospel — the good news of what Jesus did for us — should dictate every part of my life including my conduct. It happens in so many other aspects of my life. When I had a child, I became a father, my conduct reflected the fact that I was a father. Whatever happens, I must now think, at least in part, as a father in my response to it. Likewise, my life has been changed by the Gospel. My sin is gone, by destiny secured, and fate completely in the hands of the One who died for me. Therefore, “whatever happens” I can respond with a posture that demonstrates my reliance upon the confidence in God instead of the uncertainty that daily life brings. May our love of Christ always be known in word and deed.
