Stand Firm Thusly
3 imperatives follow - 2 of which we will consider this
week.
Live in Harmony, Rejoice
Chapter 3 - Paul talked about
where his confidence rested – in Christ, not in himself.
He also urged the Philippians to follow his example (many acts
including selflessness, joy, looking ahead and not behind).
Now he is saying – In light of all I have said in this letter so far,
stand firm. They faced judeizers and hedonists, among other false doctrine, and
they must have needed a clear direction to follow since Paul provided one for
them.
How can we apply this challenge to “stand firm” today?
V2 is a challenge to live in harmony. How does standing firm and
living in harmony go together?
Does standing firm mean we should dig in our heels and not
compromise?
What is more important total harmony or truth in doctrine?
