Scripture Reflection

Analysis of Philippians 1: 21,27 & Psalm 3

The first two verses, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.", "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit,[a] striving together as one for the faith of the gospel"

In the Philippians 1:21 we see another reminder that to be alive is to live for the Glory of Christ, and that when death comes we need not mourn, it is a joyous occasion for those who have died redeemed in Christ they have gone home, and for those who chose to not believe mourn the loss as you would that of your brother for we are all children of God.

To live in accordance with Christ is to live worthy of the gospel. It is to be holy and separate from the world while being a light inside of its darkness through Christ. We are commanded to stand firm in this and through Christ we shall. In the coming trials we are told that we must strive toward faith as one yearning for the faith received from the gospel.

The second part I will be covering are verses from Psalm 3

As a christian we are promised persecution there is no avoiding it and when it happens many will say things similar to Psalm 3: 2

From verses 3 and 6 we also learn that we must not be deceived by this for the Lord God is with us always, He will shield us and lift up our head. Do not fear the multitudes of persecutors who try to tear you down for you stand mighty on the hand and will of God.
