Having missed my brothers' memorial gathering, my nephew came to my home and showed me the pictures that were on display at the event. We had a good time of fellowship as he is a fine man of faith in Jesus. The family of God is stronger and our love grows as we share things that are good.
Php 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
Php 1:10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
Php 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Abounding love, excelling more abundant love and more and more in knowledge and all judgment. We definitely need to know what is best for us as God's family. He will give us these things through the Holy Spirit of Jesus. We will be able to know what is worth while and what is not good, so that we may choose the things that are excellent with a pure heart. We are being filled with Christ and his righteousness unto the glory and praise of God. Truth is, that God sees us now through his Son, Jesus Christ. The world that has not seen Jesus in all of their learning and thoughts, may see Jesus in us. The Spirit of the righteousness of Christ, will bring truth and approval to the things that are good and excellent. We accomplish this as we join together with others of the family of God. Philippians 4:8 says it well.
Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
These things should be seen in us, so that others may see Christ in us.
