Sub Theme: The Narrow way 3
Topic: The way of Determination
Text:
Phil 1:18-21
Aims
to discuss Paul’s determination in propagating the gospel,
to see the importance of determination on the course of the narrow path to salvation and
to study the focus of a determined Christian.
Introduction
Determination is the act of following a particular course in a resolute and firm manner. Paul was formerly a persecutor, (Gal 1: 13,v23-24), but in our Bible passage today, (Phil 1: 18-21) we can see how resolute he was in preaching the gospel at the expense of his life, using the same virtue. Considering his life as nothing in face of persecution for preaching the gospel is a worthy emulation for all Christians. Let us go into the study guides for more research on a determined Christian on the narrow path.
Study Guide
How can you understand a resolute Christian lifestyle in the light of Paul’s example in Phil 1: 21? Compare with John 6: 66-69
How can we live a resolute life for Christ? Acts 5: 40-42; Jam 1: 2-4;
What should be the focus of our resolution as Christians? ICor 2: 1-2; Ga 6: 14; Phil 3: 8
Explain what it means to ‘forsake father and mother,’ and ‘losing one’s life for Christ’s sake,’ in relation to self-determination for heaven’s sake. Matt 10: 38; Lu 14:26.
Conclusion
The narrow way is the way that is reserved for only those who are strongly determined to inherit heaven. Without determination, the canal lust, persecution and worldly distraction will easily sweep a Christian from the path to eternal life.
Food for Thought
No Determination, no Christian livelihood
Memory Verse
Phil 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain”.
