Description

In Philippians 1:7-8, Paul teaches us that the fellowship of the gospel of Jesus Christ makes ordinary people into saints who share in the grace of God in all circumstances, having their hearts and minds transformed by that grace so that they are able to love the Church and pray for her in the same way as Jesus Christ.

The main idea in our passage today is that The Fellowship of the Gospel makes all Christians partakers of the grace of God. We’ll see that in three ways.

• First - A right heart produces right thinking which produces right praying.
• Secondly - we’ll see how Christians who suffer for their faith, defend the faith, or confirm the faith are all partners of grace.
• Finally, we’ll see the Affection of Christ, and how it is HIS heart that should be beating in every Christian for every Christian.
