Let This Mind Be In You – Paul M. Williams

Philippians 2:1-11 Oh that the Body of Christ might lay firmly hold on the most blessed doctrine of regeneration!! "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins" (Eph. 2:1). "...if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Cor. 5:17). Oh! the glories of this precious truth, what grace has become ours in Christ, what change has been wrought in our hearts the hour we first believed!! In light of this great truth, the burden of responsibility is now placed on the Church of Jesus Christ to preserve and maintain, at all costs, the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace!! Most assuredly, in Christ, we have been brought into spiritual fellowship and unity with one another by selfsame Spirit of God that dwells in each of us. However, great caution is given in this sermon about allowing strife and envy to fester in our hearts which destroys the unity and injures the Church for which Christ died.
