What Really Matters?

The book of Philippians, in the Bible, is a letter written by the apostle Paul and by Timothy to all the Christians at the church in Philipi.

What was said to them can also be applied to our lives today.

9 I pray that your love for each other will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in your knowledge and understanding. 10 For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until Christ returns. Philippians 1:9,10

So what do we need to understand, what really matters?

It really matters that you believe that the Bible is the Word of God and is able to change your life. It has no errors; the New Testament is the account of eyewitnesses to the events of Jesus’ life and the effects His life had on people; the Old Testament is the Word of God, telling of His character- His love for us- His plan to save us from our sins.

It really matters that you believe that Jesus Christ is God’s own Son, sent from heaven to live a sinless life, die for us and rise from the dead.

It really matters that you know that God has a perfect plan for your life, that He loves you enough to believe the best about you and expect the best from you, even when you are at your lowest.

God loves you and wants you to use the Scripture He gave to guide you in how to live a life for Him.
