Rejoice Philippians 2.12-18

<p>Paul commends the church for their obedience to the Word and then tells them to work hard on their obedience which will show the results of their salvation. Then Paul says that one result of walking with God is not complaining.  Complaining is offensive to God and one of the ugly sins which actually disqualifies a believers witness. Paul then tries to put suffering in perspective.</p>
