Philippians 1

Paul wrote to the Philippians that God had begun something good in them and that He would be faithful to complete it. Paul was glad to hear the gospel preached even if some were doing so for the wrong reasons. Paul also related a struggle that while he wanted to be with God in heaven, he realized there was more for him to do here and urged his readers to honor Christ through their actions as long as they lived.

God will never abandon us. When He accepts us and promises to change us from the inside out, He will stick with us to the end. In response to His faithfulness, we ought to be faithful to Him as well, spreading His message and living a life pleasing to Him.
