Peace in Knowledge: Philippians 4:2-9

To stand firm as Citizens of heaven in the face of opposition, in
faith we must use the tools the Lord has provided us.

While we wait for Christ, we must keep pursuing conformity to Christ.

First John, written ca. AD 86–95 in Ephesus, features three tests of genuine faith for discerning false teachers and assuring true saints:
1. Affectional (love)
2. Doctrinal (belief)
3. Ethical (obedience)

Don’t trade Jesus for anything.

Christ’s sacrificial obedience demands our sacrificial obedience.
