Phil.
One September morning a father and his son were on their way to Grand Central Station in New York City.
The son was taking the train to a college in New England.
For a moment the father just stood there wanting to say many things but saying only one, though it was quite enough: “Son, never forget who you are”.
Worth more than a book of rules or a core of lectures on behavior was that one challenge to something deep in a boy’s memory.
“Never forget who you are”.
The basis of the boy’s behavior was his own identity.
That is the basis of the plea Paul made to the Christians at Philippi and through them to us: “Only, let your conversation be as it becomes the gospel of Christ”.
Paul was saying “In the way you act, never forget who you are”.
“Conversation” here refers to the whole manner of life.
This plea for Christian behavior is based on our identity as citizens of the kingdom of God.
Christian behavior should be consistent
Our behavior should line up with the word of God.
One’s behavior in life should confirm rather than contradict the gospel.
The word “conversation” actually means citizen of life.
It would have had special meaning
