Phillipians 1: 9-11

We show the world our love for Christ by the time we spend in the Word. The very Word of God was made flesh and  dwelt among men. Through the teachings of the Holy Spirit we can filter worldly desires with the righteousness that is in Christ Jesus. Jesus is God…May His fruit be found in us.

Love fulfills the Law of the Old Testament in the grace and salvation of Jesus in the New. 

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.

As Paul explains later, love (agapē) involves putting others before oneself.

The first of two terms on which a directed love is built, knowledge suggests an intimate understanding based on a relationship with the person. Here the focus of this knowledge is God.

The term discernment found only here in the NT, the Greek word means moral or ethical understanding based on both the intellect and the senses. The word implies perception or insight into social situations. NKJ Bible.


Philippians 1:9–11 (NKJV)
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

John 15:8 (NKJV)
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV)
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Colossians 1:6 (NKJV)

which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
