Gospel Faithfulness: The Precedence of Christian Living Philippians 1:27-30

21-1003: Christ-followers live a life of ALL by gospel precedence to bear a faithful witness both in believing and suffering. The way a follower of Jesus lives is so important that it stands alone above all else in importance, because of what you know to be true of God and his work in redemption through Jesus Christ. And the way one lives, or manner of life, should be worthy of the gospel. Jesus came all the way to earth to give all of Himself on the cross. The Christ-follower’s whole life is hidden in Christ with God. And, In Christ, every promise of God is “Yes” and “Amen”. This means you can trust God for all things, all the way, and in everything because there is nothing that He has not promised and provided. The gospel defines everything about the way a Christian lives. In this message Pastor Lane establishes how a Christ-follower lives with gospel precedence by three qualities because Jesus is worthy of all our trust, all the way, in every way. And the most potent part of God’s promise is to learn how sufficient His grace is to His people. God graces his people with His goodness in believing and in suffering so their lives can bear a faithful testimony to His glory. We pray this message helps and encourages.
