Examples
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:9 KJV
Until my life is Spirit-auditing, it cannot be earthly relevant. I wonder if I could say the things Paul says here with conviction. What he says in effect is this: through the help of the Spirit, I have become an example you can emulate, and as you do so, the peace of God will be your experience. These words are not careless, they are spoken out of a deep conviction of how far God had brought him. See the consistency: the things he taught and the things they saw him do were consistent, not contradictory. Do my words match my actions? Does my mouth confession match my life profession? Does my life preach a consistency that only Christ can birth and sustain? Questions only the Spirit of God can help to answer. His time of favour is here.
