Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

 (Php 1:27) “Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;”  That which is fitting for those who profess the gospel is that they hold to the truths of God’s Word, “stand fast in one spirit”. In other words, they as God’s children would be in agreement. Among God’s local assembly, they are to walk together in unity. I say, “Among God’s local assembly”, first of all because this book was written to a local church. Some would wrongly pronounce, doctrine should not divide God’s people. They would be wrong. We are to stand for the truths of God’s Word. Doing so will divide among good meaning brethren. That does not mean we are to be rude nor mistreat one another. How could those possessing the love of Christ rightly do so? Yet, we are to stand.
