Philippians 3:17 - 4:1 - Stand Firm
Paul was in hard pursuit of a life glorified Jesus, and he wanted his readers to stand firm as he has expressed in Philippians 1:27 in that same pursuit. Standing firm is not always easy when one has to deal with the new atheism, a truncated Gospel, pluralistic religions and worldviews, etc. Even when Paul wrote to Timothy he called the church the "pillar and buttress of truth (1 Tim. 3:15). When the truth of the Gospel is faithfully proclaimed someone is going to get hurt at times. In standing firm, you cannot stand still. Christianity is a fight for your life. The Christian is like flying an airplane - you are either moving forward or you are crashing and burning. In order to stand firm without standing still, Paul calls us to the disciplemaking of imitation, to flee apostasy, to the assurance of heaven. We must stand firm in our pursuit of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Standing firm is not standing still.
