Summer Bible Study: WordGo’s Philippians: Confident in Christ: Week 1, Day 4: Philippians 1:7-8

Summary of Philippians 1:7-8

Paul defends his love for the Philippians and their union in Christ.

Questions for Philippians 1:7-8

9) Paul has the Philippians in his heart (he loves them), and all of them share in God’s grace with him.

10) We all have the Holy Spirit inside of us. This is a gift from Christ and a source of power for us. We are justified by faith. We are sanctified by Christ as we grow more like him every day. Grace alone allows us to love one another. Otherwise, our sinful nature would always have an ulterior motive. Grace is our model for love. It transforms the human heart. And, it allows us to love in difficult circumstances.

11) Most likely. Sometimes, it’s hard enough just to work on my spiritual growth, let alone others’. With love and grace, we can help others, too!

Conclusions to WordGo Philippians: Confident in Christ, Philippians 1:7-8

We should all look at others (especially believers) with grace. We should pray for others to grow closer to Christ. We should pray for others’ journey to Christ.

We should just pray!

Summer Bible Study: WordGo’s Philippians: Confident in Christ: Week 1, Day 3: Philippians 1:6

Summary of Philippians 1:6

 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Paul proclaims that God will complete His Work in the Philippians.

Questions for Philippians 1:6

6) That God will complete His work in the Philippians. He bases this certainty on the character of Christ.

7) God begins His good work in a person at the moment they accept Jesus into their hearts as Lord and Savior. God continues this work by giving us His purposes for our lives.

8 ) Yes. I’d say He’s been prompting me more to do His work and to help others more, rather than be selfish.

Conclusions to WordGo Philippians: Confident in Christ, Philippians 1:6

God works in us so that we can complete the work He gives us to do. God uses the Holy Spirit within us to produce a responding faith.

God does it all; we do nothing. We cannot overcome sin without God’s grace.

God always finishes what He begins, which includes the works in us.

When we doubt, we know that God will do it. Rest in that!
