“That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;”
Philippians 1:10 KJV
Really amazing that Paul wrote this from a prison where he was in total lockdown! To see around us things that are excellent & not be critical, judgmental & negative requires a sincere change of mind. In Bible language this means we repent. This only happens when we come to the Cross! If the Cross is an offence to us, we won’t be able to approve of things that are excellent. It is the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that when we have a change of mind, He provides the change of heart and we approve of things that are excellent and are sincere and without offence....only Jesus can do that! Let’s start seeing things through the eyes of Jesus & approving things that are excellent so that we are sincere and without offence till the day of Christ....lockdown or no lockdown!
