“Let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ.” (Philippians 1:27)
Just as United States Marines are told not do anything to "disgrace their uniform,” Paul urges the early Christian Church to be faithful and live a life worthy of all that Christ taught, did, and sacrificed for us out of love. To live beyond the bounds of sinfulness and not be influenced or overcome by evil enticements of this wicked, seductive world. To be vessels of grace, righteousness, and purity. Abounding in God’s love. Redeemed and transformed by the Cross so that we, too, might reflect God’s Word with a positive attitude, good deeds and actions, and by upright moral conduct.
Fr. John
