Philippians (ASL) - Lesson 6

Shining As Stars

Doyle Gilliam, Hollis Maynard • Philippians 2:12–18

This lesson emphasizes the need for believers to live blameless, pure lives that reflect moral integrity both inwardly and outwardly. Drawing from Paul’s letters, it contrasts the darkness of the pagan world with the Christian calling to shine as lights, following Jesus' example. Faithful living, combined with sharing the Word, is essential to lead others to salvation. Paul warns that his efforts would be in vain if converts fall away, stressing the importance of perseverance. Like a sacrificial offering, believers’ faithfulness brings glory to God, demonstrating the effectiveness of gospel preaching and affirming the preacher’s labor was not wasted.
