#Paul warned the Philippian #Christians regarding prospective "Judaizing" teachers. He knew what kind of presence and arguments they would advance. He would prepare them well.

#Paul warned the Philippian #Christians about "Judaizing" teachers. Their standing in Christ came by faith, not by descent or the Law.

A quotation from The Bible

Nothing is to be done out of jealousy or vanity; instead, out of humility of mind everyone should give preference to others, everyone pursuing not selfish interests but those of others.
 
[μηδὲν κατ᾽ ἐριθείαν μηδὲ κατὰ κενοδοξίαν ἀλλὰ τῇ ταπεινοφροσύνῃ ἀλλήλους ἡγούμενοι ὑπερέχοντας ἑαυτῶν, μὴ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ἕκαστος σκοποῦντες ἀλλὰ [καὶ] τὰ ἑτέρων ἕκαστοι.]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
Philippians 2: 3-4 [NJB (1985)]

We explore the essence of sharing and putting others first, as inspired by Philippians chapter 2. Instead of selfishness, we learn how to grow and bear fruit by considering the interests of others. #Sharing #Philippians #Humility #Selflessness #Community #Inspiration #Faith #Christianity #BibleStudy #Motivation

Did #Paul Really #Persecute #Christians?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEoouKCTTOw

Drawing from #Acts, #Philippians, and a close reading of the #Greek verb #diōkō, Robyn explores whether Paul was really hunting Christians down… or if he was doing something more like pestering, pursuing, or #policing #doctrine.

"I know what it is like to need things. I also know what it is like to have more than enough. I have learned this secret. I know how to be happy whatever happens. I can be happy when I have enough food to eat, and also when I am hungry. I can be happy when I have plenty of things, and also when I have nothing. I can do all these things because Christ makes me strong."

All of us who are mature should think in this same way. And if any of you think differently, God will make it clear to you. Philippians 3.15 CEV.

Paul wants everyone to think the same way and to have the same goal. He does not affirm the means by which God would make clear the right way of thinking, but it is not necessary to think it would be by direct revelation. The committed fellowship of the saints would do much to remedy a different mode of thought.

Novena to St. John of the Cross, Day 4: An imitation of his life

Scripture

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Philippians 2:5-11)

Reading

Now, until God gives us this good in heaven, pass the time in the virtues of mortification and patience, desiring to resemble somewhat in suffering this great God of ours, humbled and crucified. This life is not good if it is not an imitation of his life.

Letter 25

Prayer

O St. John of the Cross
You were endowed by our Lord with the spirit of self-denial
and a love of the cross.
Obtain for us the grace to follow your example
that we may come to the eternal vision of the glory of God.

O Saint of Christ’s redeeming cross
the road of life is dark and long.
Teach us always to be resigned to God’s holy will
in all the circumstances of our lives
and grant us the special favor
which we now ask of thee.

Mention your request

Above all, obtain for us the grace of final perseverance,
a holy and happy death and everlasting life with you
and all the saints in heaven.
Amen.

Let’s continue in prayer…

• Day 1 — What profit is there?
• Day 2 — An open wound
• Day 3 — Your heart in peace
• Day 4 — An imitation of his life
• Day 5 — Supreme goodness
• Day 6 — Guided through the dark night
• Day 7 — Surrender
• Day 8 — Inspired with love
• Day 9 — All things are forgotten

Don’t become discouraged and give up prayer, says St. John of the Cross. We offer varying novenas to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, as well as novenas to St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Sts. Louis and Zélie Martin, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, and St. Joseph.

Let us unite in prayer
