How do we live as citizens of heaven? What do Christians boast in? What conditions do we place on Christianity?
Today we discuss Philippians 3, looking at how Paul calls us to rely solely on faith in Christ, not what we've done. We also look at Paul counting all of his Jewish heritage as loss compared to the priceless gain of knowing Christ. We finish with a conversation about the contrast between living as enemies of the cross of Christ and living as citizens of heaven.
