Philippians 1:21
For Reading and Meditation: John 6:60-71
The next aspect of Christian uniqueness we consider is the Person of our Lord Himself. "Christianity is Christ," said one great preacher. "He is not just the Founder of Christianity but its very foundation. On Him rests the weight of bringing all men and women to God." It is important to reflect at this point, as John...

What makes the Christian faith different from every other faith? Prince Charles, who is next in line to the British throne, has let it be known that if and when he becomes king he would like to be regarded as Defender of all faiths rather than Defender of the faith - the Christian faith. Living now as we do in a...

The believer did not always live to Christ. He began to do so when God the Holy Spirit convinced him of sin, and when by grace he was brought to see the dying Saviour making a propitiation for his guilt. From the moment of the new and celestial birth the man begins to live to Christ. Jesus is to believers the one pearl of great price, for whom we are willing to part with all that we have. He has so completely won our love, that it beats alone for him; to his glory we would live, and in...

The Christian life is very simple - if only we understand it. It has only one principle - single-hearted devotion to Christ. Paul stated this principle when he said, "To me to live is Christ" (Philippians 1:21) Jesus states it here also when He says, "Seek first His kingdom, and His righteousness."
In our present passage, we have a whole scheme of life.

To me, to live is Christ. (Philippians 1:21 NIV)
In the wilderness the whole of our
natural life is brought out, and we come to know our weakness and emptiness;
that we have nothing. Thus it is that we now find everything in Christ and so
can go over and possess. What is the secret of possession, of coming into our
inheritance? It is that we have come to the place where...

I wonder very often if the fact that our tremendous knowledge about Christ, our tremendous doctrinal apprehension, failing to lead us into triumphant joy, failing to result in something of this contagious spirit of triumph that was about Paul, does not imply that it is something which is not Christ personally with which we are occupied and taken up. We...

Read MoreRemain in Me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. (John 15:4 NIV)
He has chosen us from the foundation of the world in Christ. He has selected One
in whom we shall find Him, and in whom alone we shall find Him. All the forces of hell
will be at work, in the...

(Philippians 1:21)
That is the good news of the
all-captivating Christ. When Christ really captivates, everything happens and
anything can happen. That is how it was with Paul and with these people. Christ
had just captivated them. They had no other thought in life than Christ. They
may have had their businesses, their trades, their...
