New Year Joy: the joy of integrity by ric Gustafson
When the Apostle Paul was writing to the Philippian believers, he was concerned about their willingness to stand against persecution. He gave them four priorities for success against the enemy.
The first thing he mentioned was that they let their conduct be worthy of the gospel. Philippians 3:20 says that our citizenship is in heaven.
The second thing he mentions is to be consistent with our integrity. The third point Paul says is to be in cooperation with fellow believers. The fourth thing he mentions is to have courage even when we are persecuted.
The Apostle Paul regarded suffering for Christ a privilege. He referred to persecution as a gift from God.
