Stand Firm together in One Spirit for the Gospel of Jesus

March 19, 2013 - Ephesians 1:27



1:27
  

 27 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, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel. 

Paul exhorts Philippians believers that they are united by the one Spirit of Christ for advancing the gospel of Christ. A Spirit-filled life to Paul is for a Christian to work together with other believers for the Gospel. Paul though being chained is still concern about the Gospel and he truly believes that believers can stand firm by the Spirit together. My dear Holy Spirit, thanks for reminding us that You are the One Spirit to unite us together, to strengthen us to stand firm in challenges, and to lead the church to witness our Lord Jesus and His Gospel. Continue to shape our life to be like Jesus that we can live a life worthy of the gospel. We know that Your work in us is sometimes gradual, bit by bit, that requires our patience and faith. But we also believe that Your work in us can be dramatic as well that is beyond our comprehension. I pray that You can freely work in us, removing our prejudice, our fear, and our lack of faith, which obstruct Your Power and Presence in us.
