What will happen to those we love after we are gone? Imprisoned and uncertain of the future, Paul faced this question while penning his letter to the Philippians. No matter what happened to him, he wanted to leave the believers at Philippi well equipped to stand firm for the Gospel. Each of Paul’s exhortations to them, which Alistair Begg surveys in this message, point us toward the necessity of steadfastness in the face of opposition and suffering.
27Only vlet your manner of life be wworthy8 of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you xthat you are standing firm in one spirit, with yone mind zstriving side by side for the faith of the gospel, 28and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is aa clear sign to them of their destruction, but bof your salvation, and that from God. 29For cit has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also bsuffer for his sake, 30engaged in the same dconflict that eyou saw I had and now hear that I still have.
