Emile, satan never did like God, did he?
Our job:
(Phil 1:27 NASB) "Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;"
SURE EVIDENCE: (Phil 1:28 NASB) "in no way alarmed by your opponents-- which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God."
BLESSINGS AND GUIDANCE: (Phil 1:29 NASB) "For to you it has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake," (Phil 1:30 NASB) "experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me." (Phil 2:1 NASB) "If therefore there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion," (Phil 2:2 NASB) "make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose." (Phil 2:3 NASB) "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself;" (Phil 2:4 NASB) "do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others." (Phil 2:5 NASB) "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus," (Phil 2:6 NASB) "who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped," (Phil 2:7 NASB) "but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men." (Phil 2:8 NASB) "And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross."
GOD BLESS,
