Philippians 4:1 – 10
Introduction:
The Scriptures speak of 2 kinds of peace that are available to us:
(1) peace with God
(2) the peace of God.
Peace with God is when we are saved.
The old conflict that was between the Lord and ourselves is settled (Romans 5:1).
The peace of God is that resolution of inner conflict of heart that is brought about by the reign of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.
TS: There are several facets to the peace offered by the Holy Spirit:
I. Unified Hearts (Philippians 4:1 – 3).
A. When the Holy Spirit is in control, he produces love and harmony within the Fellowship.
1.
Any discord will disrupt the rule of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
a.
We are commanded not to grieve the Holy Spirit.
(Ephesians 4:30)
b.
Notice some things the Scriptures list that will grieve him, thereby disrupting his rule over us:
(1) walking in pride
(2) untruthfulness
(3) outbursts of anger
(4) misuse of the tongue
(5) giving into bitterness, etc.
2. where the Holy Spirit rules, love abounds.
a. (Romans 5:5)
3. Unforgiveness will block the flow of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
a. (Matthew 6:14 – 15)
II.
Unpretentious Joy (Philippians 4:4).
A. Rejoicing changes the focus of the spiritual eyes (Ephesians 1:18 – 23).
1. Focus changes from the gloom of the world to the hope and glory of our inheritance.
2. The focus changes from our helplessness to the greatness of his power.
3. Focus changes from the defeat of our flash to the victory of our glorious Lord.
B. Rejoicing changes the condition of the believer's heart (Colossians 3:2).
1. Cannot truly rejoice in the Lord without your heart being warmed by the fires of love!
a.
I challenge you to try it!
III.
Unselfish Attitudes (Philippians 4:5,8).
A. Unselfish attitudes that are focused on consideration for others.
1. Taking God and his grace is the prime example for life.
(Psalm 130:3, 4).
B. Unselfish attitudes that refuse to focus on personal rights.
1. focusing upon personal rights will always result in a loss of peace.
2. Living in the conscious awareness of the imminence of Christ's return helps to alleviate the focus upon self and self rights.
C. Unselfish attitudes that refuse to focus on the negative (Philippians 4:8)
1. focus on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable.
2. Focus on what is excellent and praiseworthy.
IV.
