The church at Philippi had a lot of respect for Paul. When they heard of all the troubles he had endured and that he was held as a prisoner in Rome, they sent a messenger with words of encouragement and a financial gift.
Paul writes this letter to thank them, but also to strengthen them in their faith and to encourage them to grow in their maturity in Christ. The church at Philippi was healthy and strong, but Paul knew they must keep growing in faith and maturity and this letter shows them what that looks like.
The same is true for us, if things are going well and you are spiritually strong, there is still much more that God wants to do to strengthen your faith. There are many troubles coming upon this world and God knows we need to be spiritually ready and on the alert.
And if things are not going well and you’re not spiritually strong, then God definitely wants to take hold of your life and bring you through those troubles. And if you’ll open your heart, He will heal you and strengthen you, and when you’ve come through the other side of those troubles, He wants you to keep walking with Him to keep growing in your faith.
Maturity has everything to do with our attitude of mind. Last week Paul said that we should do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind we should regard one another is more important than ourselves. Jesus Himself is the greatest example. Even though he existed in the very nature of God, He did not regard equality thing to be grasped, or held onto, but he humbled himself and took on the likeness of men. But he didn’t just humble Himself to become a man, He humbled Himself and became a bondservant. Therefore, God highly exalted Him.
This is one of the deepest, most important issues in the heart of God for us. How do you become great in the kingdom of God? Become like the King. This is the very definition of spiritual maturity.
This week Paul writes that what we set our minds on has everything to do with whether we have a victorious spirit. In Chapter 3 Paul wrote, “One thing I do; forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
The upward call of God means everything to Paul and it defines what he sets his mind on; and what you set your mind on has everything to do with how you live your life.
