In Philippians 1, Paul calls upon the believers in Philippi to “conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ…” (Philippians 1:27).  I pondered that thought today and wondered what that looks like in several areas of my life.  Worthy of the Gospel that alone is the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16).

The Gospel is worthy of my full attention.  I need to search to know its fullness, plunge its depths, and experience its power in every area of my life.

The Gospel is worthy of my deepest piety.  If I am going to claim it as mine, hold it up as my model, and embrace it as my passion, my life should be one of holy character and godly pursuit.  I should be morally pure, ethically upright, and personally responsible to maintain a pure and upright heart.

The Gospel is worthy of my personal devotion.  I should strive to walk in it, live up to it, and model it in every walk of my life.

The Gospel is worthy of my willing participation.  To walk worthy of the gospel means not only to live up to it personally, but also to share it with others at every opportunity.  It is the power of God and walking worthy of it implies sharing it with all!
