“I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have labored with me for the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.”
Philippians 4:2-3 Paul, The Apostle of Grace
In Philippians 4:1, Paul concluded his message about the righteousness that comes by faith alone in Jesus alone, telling the Philippian believers: “that is how you must stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.” Paul’s heart was to see them stand firm in what the Lord had done for them, receiving his righteousness by faith, rather than seeking to achieve righteousness through the religious and moral works put forth by the false teachers, whom Paul called “dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh! |

"Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good pleasure. Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. |

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."
Philippians 2:3-4 Paul, The Apostle of Grace
Sometimes people look for the quickest way out of a relationship.
There are times that needs to be done.
But I believe those relationships are the exception rather than the rule.
Rather than looking for the quickest way out of the relationship, we need to look for the quickest way out of the relationship problems. |

Fathers,
do not exasperate your children;
instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4
Families
are to be educational centers for children to learn about God's grace
from their parents. From their parents, children are to learn about the
salvation of God's grace which will save them from the condemnation of
the law. Specifically, fathers are to be to the first ones in the family
to teach the children about God's grace.
In Ephesians 6:4, the instruction
of the Lord is the revelation of grace by the ascended Jesus to Paul
that he has instructed the families of the church about in Ephesians
1-5. |

In seeking to properly interpret and apply Ephesians 6:4, we must first understand Ephesians chapters 1-5. In these chapters, Paul goes into great detail about the glorious riches of God's grace freely given to us in Jesus. |
