By Grace Alone

John continues to remind his readers who they are in Christ. The verse we are looking at this week is “I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father.” (1 John 2:13, ESV). Let us continue to be reminded of who we are in Christ.

Paul declares “The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the Gospel.” (Philippians 1:16, ESV). This group acknowledges the fact that Paul is in chains for the defense of the Gospel and preaches out of love. Their whole motive is that they are always desiring what it best for others.

Pauls tells us the very words of God when he puts to parchment ”But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57, ESV). In this we see that God get all the thanks and all the glory for everything, our salvation, our victory, our very lives. As we close out this Easter let us give thanks to the one who made it happen and rejoice in the fact that because He lives, we shall live also. 

Happy Easter 2008

Christians are sometimes hindrances to the spread of the gospel. Paul says “Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.” (Philippians 1:15, ESV). But he goes on and says “What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,” (Philippians 1:18, ESV). May we all have this attitude that Paul had in the face of opposition.
