Remembering what Jesus has done reminds us what to do

Sometimes, one word makes all the difference, and in this message from Philippians 2:12-18, that word is "therefore" because it connects what Jesus did on the cross with what we're called to do now. Too many of us live with so much history between us and the cross that we fail to see how HIS act is relevant to OUR actions, and with one simple but powerful illustration, Paul helps us repair the rupture between what Jesus did for us and who Jesus has made us to be.

Daily Devotions

Day 1: Understanding "Therefore"

Scripture: Philippians 2:1-11

Devotional:

When we read the Bible, words like "Therefore" are super important. It acts like a bridge that connects what Jesus did to how we should live. Jesus came down to Earth, lived like us, and died for us. Because of this, we should think differently and act in ways that honor Him.

Reflection Questions:

1. Why is the word “Therefore” important in connecting past events to our actions?
2. How does knowing what Jesus did make you want to change the way you live?

Additional Scripture: Romans 12:1-2

Day 2: Working Out, Not Working For, Your Salvation

Scripture: Philippians 2:12-13

Devotional:

Paul tells us to "work out" our salvation. This means living out our faith in our daily actions. It's not about earning our place in heaven, but about letting God's love and power help us grow and change.
