Throughout the epistle to the Philippians, Paul exhorted believers to have unity of spirit and purpose, to love one another, to have real care and concern for one another, to be of a humble mind and disposition, to rest in Christ alone for righteousness and redemption, and to meditate on holy things. Then in Phil. 4:9 he wrote, “Those things which you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do.” Do them! It is hoped that you have not just learned a doctrine, but that you have experienced a work of true grace, that you have not received these things in your head, but in your heart! What good are our words of grace if our actions and attitudes are contrary?
