Philippians 4 vs 1-3

Amidst errors which destroy the prospect of joy, the apostle turned their thoughts to the Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ and his glorious body and the wonderful prospect of our resurrection bodies. These great truths must have a practical outworking. Doctrine is never theoretical, there must be a, therefore, a consequence, a response. The more understanding we have of God’s revelation to us, so the more it should affect our thoughts and actions. Whenever you find a 'therefore' in scripture look back and see why it is there and then see the consequence.
