I. EXHORTATION (v. 27) * Wherever you are in life, you are to conduct yourself in a way that imitates Christ * It should be known to others that the Christian is rightly representing Christ * Must think and act in unity according to the Spirit. Don't just hear and approve, but act in response
II. OPPOSITION (v. 28) * Opposition is not a reason to fear and neglect gospel work * In Romans, Paul says to avoid opposers. Just keep spreading Gospel, God gives the increase to it * Reality of our salvation should unite us to strive together for Gospel spread
III. REMINDER (v. 29-30) * Paul can encourage believers who are opposed and threatened because he had himself experienced all forms of suffering even in jail when he wrote this letter
CONCLUSION: Don't be afraid to proclaim Christ despite the opposition that is out in the world. Paul and many others have suffered for the sake of the Gospel to encourage us to strive side by side for the Kingdom
