Paul In Chains Advance the Gospel Of Truth

Paul In Chains Advance the Gospel Of Truth

Paul in jail and suffering advances the Gospel, of Jesus Then and now. The enemy,the defeated one, has started strong for he is angry all he attempted then and now has failed.

Philippians 1:15-18 (CJB) 15 True, some are proclaiming the Messiah out of jealousy and rivalry, but others are doing it in goodwill. 16 The latter act from love, aware that I am put where I am for defending the Good News; 17 while the former announce the Messiah out of selfish ambition, with impure motives, supposing they can stir up trouble for me in prison. 18 But so what? All that matters is that in every way, whether honestly or in pretense, the Messiah is being proclaimed; and in that I rejoice–Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

I used the scripture today out of the Complete Jewish Bible because I love they way that put it. Yes then they had some doing it out of jealousy and rivalry and today we have the same thing. Paul went to jail or prison for preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The word of the Lord is being told and preached. Be it from the heart or be it out jealousy and rivalry it is being preached and we find in Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV)  So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

No were in that scripture does it say who is sending it out so even someone doing it for all the wrong reasons God will still be preached and will be heard. I believe the scriptures, those doing it for all the wrong reasons will be shown for who they really are. Matthew 7:21-23 (NKJV) 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
