Selfless Love: Philippians 1:7
“7) For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.” Philippians 1:7
Paul was not self focused. He endured much for the sake of others. He carried them in his heart. He genuinely cared for others.
What he endured for the defense of the pure gospel, he did for the sake of every true believer. He gave his life to defend the gospel of grace against legalism and every works based system of religion.
He carried them in his heart through his entire imprisonment and sufferings. He often stood alone to defend the simple message of the gospel.
This verse challenges me to live for Christ and others and not for myself. Paul became an imitator of Christ. We are called to the same kind of radical and selfless love.
