It's in you!



  It’s in you!


Remember this classic Gatorade commercial featuring Payton Manning, Derek Jeter and Yao Ming promoting the “It’s in You” campaign? Philippians 2:5 instructs us to “Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus.” How’s that possible? Well, it’s in you… or more accurately, He’s in you!!! “For it is God who is working in you, enabling you both to desire and to work out His good pleasure” Philippians 2:13.

This doesn't mean we are sit back passively, but rather we are to “work out (never “work for”) our salvation with fear and trembling” (verse 12). In this Sunday’s upcoming conversation we’ll pick up this discussion with Philippians 2:12-18.
