Philippians 1:25-27
25 I am convinced of this, so I will continue with you so that you will grow and experience the joy of your faith.
26 Then when I return to you, you will have even more reason to boast about what Christ Jesus has done for me.
27 But whatever happens to me, you must live in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ, as citizens of heaven. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing side by side, fighting together for the Good News. (NLT)

When you are adopted by God the Father you become a citizen of heaven. Therefore as a citizen of heaven you must live in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Paul wanted to go home to his real home but knew that for him to stay was beneficial for them. He knew he was to continue to help them grow in Christ and to experience the joy of their faith. We too are to continue in our growth in Christ (we must decrease and He must increase) and to experience the joy of our faith in Christ. Let us stand side by side as Paul did with the Philippians and fight together for the Good News of Jesus Christ. Let’s run the race and fight the good fight for Christ. Lets finish with praise and honor for Christ.

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ
