Philippians Bible Study Phili. 1:27-30 It is our responsibility as Christians to become like Christ in every area of our lives. Many religions and philosophies focus on changing the outside of man, but Christ in us enables us to change from the inside out. When Christ dwells in us and His presence is understood and obeyed, the outside will soon conform to His will. Too many Christians live as though they have never been freed from the bondage of sin. When you are faced with a fear or temptation beyond your strength to withstand, cling to Someone stronger and mightier than you. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Christ will help us to fortify our courage during times of crisis and will be filtered through Christ.
