Philippians 4:9 “The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”
Paul was so confident in his relationship with God until he instructed the church to follow his example. In fact, in 1 Corinthians 11:1, Paul says to follow him as he follows Christ.
Looking at Paul’s life, after accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, I never read where he got “high” on marijuana or on any other type of drugs. I never read where he got into petty arguments over things that really don’t matter. I never read where Paul was a swindler, fulfilled the lust in his flesh, or was critical or judgmental of others.
How many of us can confidently say Philippians 4:9 to another person? We’re not talking about being perfect. Paul even mentioned his flaws. We’re talking about living a life, in Christ, where every day’s goal is to please God. The things we were convicted of yesterday are areas we are willing to work on today. We’re talking about being free from the bondage of sin and free from condemnation.
A good way to advance the Kingdom of God is to sow a seed into another person’s life. Let’s be followers of Jesus Christ so that we can say to another, the things you learned and saw in me, do them.
