2200301 Living for your master for the sake of the Gospel Philippians 1:27-30

Paul’s goal or life purpose was to use his life that others would prepare for eternity by hearing the gospel.  Therefore he was not sad for the events happening in his life as long as it helped spread the gospel.  His “inconveniences” were ok: His false imprisonments, His shipwrecks, His lack of personal space were all part of getting the gospel into places that might not have been reached.  Paul concludes his life philosophy summing it up by stating whether it was in life or death He wanted to live in such a way that Christ would be noticed by the unsaved through him. Now we come to the last few verses in Philippians 1.  He moves from encouraging them not to worry about him, and sharing his life purpose to challenging them to follow his example.
