The bible tells us that the Paul is not only our apostle for doctrine, but he is also our role model and example of how to live the successful, victorious Christian life. Funny thing, though, from a human perspective Paul appeared neither successful for victorious by any standard with which we measures ourselves today.
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you." Philippians 4:6,7,9 (KJB)
On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we are paying a visit to the apostle Paul as he sits in a jail cell in Philippi, and it is here that Paul gives us great pearls of wisdom on how to live the true Christian life. In a polar opposite contrast to the 'best life now' charlatans of our day, Paul models the the real Christian life looks like, and then tells us how we can have it as well. |
