"Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example. For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth. But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control. Philippians 3:17-21 ( NLT)
Are we patterning our lives after Paul and others who have exhibited godly character? This is how Paul describes an enemy of the cross of Christ--their appetite is their god, they brag about things they should be ashamed of, and they only think of this life on earth.
Are we living for Christ's return or living as an enemies of the cross?
