Philippians 4:5 – Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. (KJV)
Part 1 of this series – Rejoice!
The Lord is coming soon, if we want him to find us possessing the “mind of Christ” (Philippians 2:5) we need him to find us as a people who are patient, kind and gentle of spirit.
We know from 1 Corinthians 13:4 that Love is long suffering, kind, not envious, not boastful – exactly the kind of traits that moderate people have. Being loving and gentle in all situations is an outstanding way to teach our worldly friends what being a Christian is all about.
Paul reminds us to have a loving attitude to our neighbors in Romans 13:10-11 and James 5:7-9 says … Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord...
The Lord is coming – a kind and gentle lifestyle will help you be ready and you will influence others to be ready.
