Philippians Chapter 1 Discussion Page 5

To live is Christ could mean that him fulfilling the will of Christ that if not for Christ he would not have anything to live for. The gospel commited to him was the only thing keeping him alive if he should live. To die is gain means that he will certainly put a permanent stop to his gospel suffering and also enable meet with Jesus whose gospel he has been defending and receive the crown of glory.

THE GOOD THING GOD STARTED IN ME HE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE DAY OF CHRIST

When we put God first into our lives. God 's goodness ands his mercy is always follow us. All things that we need will be added. God 's words are more important to meditate day and night as God is our life. Our faith comes only by hearing the word of God. Jesus did fullfilled the scriptures and he has leading us to the living water, the word of God. Thanks to Jesus for his precious blood tht shed for us. His Resurrection, his ascencion and the Holy Spirit. Everything is possible with God

I can do all things through Christ Jesus who gave me strength this means that nothing is impossible with God.so a christian I have to establish my foundation apon this firm rock that can never be shaken that is, 'JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOUR '

I lost my wife May 15 and i was broken. While walking this verse came to me, "To die is gain and to live is Christ " so I had to look it up, the whole thing and thank the brother for the background. Christ is always calling us to Himself in all things and at all times. Lord have mercy on me a sinner. I ', Slavic and an ex-Catholic I think that is the most perfect prayer for this old broken man.

In totally agreement, these are my favorite verses! Should by death occur before the Lord 's return Rapture of the Body of Christ , I 've told my children that if they do nothing else, they absolutely have to have these verses read aloud! Each time I read these verses I 'm so thrilled I get goose-bumps! Love to all the sisters and brother in Christ. World without end.

Paul wrote this book while in prison. While in prison Paul witnessed and shared the love of Christ with everyone around him. His jailers and other inmates came to know Christ through his words and by Paul 's complete devotion to the gospel. I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS WHO STRENGTHENS ME. No matter the circumstances we face obedience to God is the only path to a life filled with joy. This world is entering into a dark Era and christians will need the strength of Jesus to withstand persecution.

I truly believe there is something in all of us but we must stir it up. If we get pass what people think of us and take root what God says we are, then and only then, we can set the course for greatest.

I lost my third child when i was going to give birth, if I had known this message i would have carried to to the hospital and it will be a song on my lips and that tragedy wouldn 't have happened to me. But this time around I have a tool and weapon which is this quotation. I will say it to myself over and over again for my next pregnancy. The devil is a lair. Amen

MY GOD WHO STARTED A WORK IN MY LIFE, HE WILL BE ABLE TO FINISH IT BEFORE I LEAVE FROM THIS WORLD.I BELIEVE IT THOROUGHLY AND I TRUST IN GOD TO FULFILL IT.YOU CAN ALSO BELIEVE HIM SO THAT HIS PLAN WILL TAKE PLACE YOUR LIFE TOO. MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

This world is so difficult to live in and I long to be gone from it and be with my Lord and Savour Jesus Christ. Yet, we who live have a purpose and, whatever that purpose is, it must be fulfilled! ... A witness for Christ 's love: The devil tried to kill me once many years ago by hitting my temple very, very hard with something yet my temple itched and my hand got in the way of the blow while scratching it. Another attempt was when my son rolled the pickup during a storm, caving in the cab. When I realized we were going to crash, I laid down in the seat and literally went to sleep. At the hospital the doctor came in shaking his head while stating, "I don 't believe it. I just don 't believe it. I saw the accident report and how bad it was yet here you are with only a severely bruised heart and a broken back bone does not even require casting. I just don 't believe it. " With a smile I told the doctor, "That is because we have a heavenly Father looking out for us. " Then this doctor said something I shall not forget, "Then He must have something very special in mind for you two. " My son had minor bruises. The conclusion? We who love the Lord Jesus are in this world for a reason and happiness is in realizing this and accepting the task given when it arrives.

v.6 - no matter how far we may stray from God, he will always be with you. Once the Lord has started something he will not call you home til he has finished that work in your life. God wants to use individuals to carry out his work, we just must be willing.

is all about standing in the garb for others to see the light and follow the truth with all boldness and also believing that there is a great reward for all there labour in christ jesus.

I think it means that if you have salvation and then walk away from God, that he will bring you back to him at some time, because he did start a good work in you and he will complete what he started in you, I find this scripture a bit confusing though.

The integrity of whoever is promising you anything matters. God as we all know has never abandoned any of His project before. If He has said it,then it is settled. Your circumstances now is never a factor, because whatever He has started , He will finish it,just trust Him He is going to finish that thing He has started . That dream of a brighter future is coming to past very soon. If He has said, go and relax , just follow His instructions, He will not fail you . You are going to shine again, you are not going to die an unfulfilled fellow IJN .

For I reckon that the suffering of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. PRAISE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER and His HOLY first born SON.

To the BROWN FAMILY, AND the State of Missouri. I extend scripture Romans 8 35 39 who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? as it is written, for thy sake we are KILLED all day long we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that LOVE us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor principalities, nor power, nor things present, nor things to come.

If God has called you to be His then no matter how far away you try to run He will, in the end, bring his plan for your salvation to fruition. My son believed when he was young then got mixed up with ratbags and wrong crowd.We just kept praying for him and visit him in jail and when he got out he still prefer drugs etc. Then one day he was so close to death and says that story is between him and God we 'll never know full story but now he 's living for God, telling everyone about the power of God for salvation...He GOD who began a good work in our son 10 years ago will complete what He began.Praise the Lord!

Want to comment on R.L.collins. 21.3.2014 No murder had taken place in the garden of Eden it all happen out of the garden when the lord banished them out. Genesis 3 23

Chapter 1 verse 15 comment. I am wondering what this verse has to do with Cain and Abel! Of course I agree with Marian Moel 's comment that no murder was committed in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve had no children in the Garden. They had Cain and Able and all the other children after they were sacked out of the Garden.
