Discuss Philippians 1 Page 8

My Thought could be Gal 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

What are the fruits of righteousness ? Love, forgiveness, humility, joy, peace, patience, kindness, discernment, wisdom ?

Hello, people who believe that often cite: Philippians 1:23, 2 Corinthians 5:8, and Luke 23:43. However, in my opinion these verses don't clearly state we go to heaven immediately, and there's actually far more verses saying we don't. For example, it says there will be a day of judgment Matthew 12:36, so clearly, people aren't going to skip that. It wouldn't make sense for people to go to heaven/hell before they're judged. Also, it clearly says we will be in 'sleep' before Jesus returns then the dead will rise to be judged. Daniel 12:2 So, it wouldn't make sense for people to go to heaven/hell, then return for a body, THEN be judged, etc. Also, no one judged before Jesus comes. 1 Cor 4:5

Christians are supposed to suffer for the words of the bible. This time of year who is suffering? Not the Christians of the hour. They are suffering if they don't get the right gift. Whose suffering for the faith of the Gospel of Christ? Nobody, because the bible is written for whosoever and not everybody. The whosoever people suffer for the faith of the gospel. Philippians 1:27.

I just heard a voice holy spirit say read Philippians, so i gather the father is a sure-ing me he is cleaning me up to go home with God the father and our lord Jesus Christ in heaven. THANK YOU YAHSHUA.

Job didn't sin by blaming God, but you do? God allowed Satan to test Job. While God views all life as precious, He likely has a different perspective than us regarding life on Earth- we view it as the most important thing ever, yet is described as so temporary it's a vapor James 4:14, and Philippians 1:21. If the children went straight to paradise in heaven do you feel that is "unloving"?

God does not embark on any project and leave it not completed.He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it Philippians 1:6 .

I certainly am blessed by the whole chapter, especially by verse 6!! Apostle Paul is my favorite writer and apostle in the Bible!! Thanks GOD BLESS!!!

Concerning this Sabbath: shall the woman, the fatherless and the widow be condemned for their work if GOD giveth their sleep? Nay. For GOD gave nor sent his Son to condemn the world but to save the world: in which, as in the days of Noah, the like figure of eight souls remain. Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does IT not, to him it is sin. For the Son of man IS Lord even of the Sabbath.

The only verse that I can find is Luke 10:20 which includes the word rejoice in it and also includes unclean spirits.

I am looking for the verse that says rejoicing in the lord defeats Satan.

May God bless you through His holy Word!

Amen! Praise the Lord for the Word.

Philippians is my favorite book of the Bible. Dense with spiritual nourishment.

Walk in Christ be bold for the word and never be ashamed for it. If we speak the gospel in truth not make anything up , most suffer for it even today we are called crazy. I feel sorry for them, they are going to miss the joy of meeting our creator. This is the oldest written history and yet they wont teach it or read it God bless them and God Bless you all, walk in faith, trust in God always

I know why I suffer now. I agree. Suffer for the Lord!!!

I compare the passage to Joshua 24
where Joshua calls on all the people to pledge commitment to God

I am understanding more clear. I often fear rejection but the love i have is deep and can never be turned away from. I need that assurance to let go. Trust and confidence

Love this book, in response to someone named Nicole G. about how to reach the Lord. One of my hardest things to learn in life: Be still, be quiet, pray earnestly and the Lord will reach out to You Nicole.

Well, today my Mom has been in heaven for a year and I thank my God upon every remembrance of her. God Bless You All! Love

Be Thankful unto the Lord and Bless his Holy Name, For All Things....
LOVE

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Now these things are important to us because it has to do with knowing what Spirit we are of both in our relations with other disciples, and with those who don't yet know the Lord, whom we hope to influence well and lead them to Jesus. And what is important about that, is that these are the things in which we shall be appointed our place and the work which God has for us in the world to come in His Everlasting Kingdom. Now we can probably suppose pretty accurately, that men like Moses and Samuel, Noah and Daniel and Job, will without question be the ones appointed to the highest places in the Kingdom along with David and the Prophets and Apostles because of the kind of men they were, as they walked with God in their generations. But of the innumerable multitudes of His Saints in all ages, including the myriads who have been tortured and persecuted and slain for their faith and fidelity to Jesus there is an incalculably unknown area of knowledge, that only that individual and God has by which He will decide and appoint to everyone their name and place with Him.

WHAT GOD START IN YOU, HE WILL FINISH. 4-9-18

Eutychus; What do you think a Saint is? How can one who is not a disciple really be a Saint? Disciple indicates one who has consecrated himself by a course in life, OF DISCIPLINE. To walk in truth with a good conscience and without "stage-playing" can only be performed by grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, by OBEDIENCE, which means DISCIPLINE. Saint means a holy one, which MEANS sanctification.

"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Phil 1:21.

Really? To live isn't watching the widescreen god? To live isn't playing sports? It isn't paying total attention to "devices". To live isn't to spend one's time in an all out drive to be entertained, even when in church?

If all that is living, then you bet! that dying in Jesus is a gain unsurpassed on this very earth...

In every letter of Paul, save Galatians, he addresses the saints as 'saints'. In fact, neither word, 'disciple' or 'disciples' ever occurs in the Bible again, after Acts 21:16.

It is my belief that our emphasis on making disciples, instead of making saints, has seriously limited the church. God doesn't need disciples today, He needs saints, and it is our task to help the Holy Spirit produce them.

Verse 10~We live in a world full of distractions and we must make sure of important things and make sure that we prioritize spiritual things and things that will be of lasting value.
