Philippeans 1:27,28 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ…standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, and not frightened in anything by your opponents.

Suffering – Conflict – Struggle. All mentioned shortly after these words. But we are not to be frightened at this. Salvation is sure. Christ is my life. I can fearlessly press ahead. That’s the way Jesus lived, and that’s the way I want to live.
