Philippians #17: Joy in Jesus--"Shine Like Stars, My Children" Philippians 2:14-16

Do we get to be pure and blameless by not complaining? No, not really. Pastor Kyle talked last week about being "pure and blameless" and that this condidtion is attained only through Jesus Christ. 

Pure and blameless are the TYPE of children we become, we are already His children. (Romans 8:14-17 (Lead by the Spirit = son of God, spirit of adoption, cry out Abba, the spirit witnesses that we are children of God)

We are pure and blameless by Jesus Christ; We are righteous by Him. We can ascend the Holy hill and be in His tabernacle (Psalm 24). 

When we do this, we shine. . .When we don’t, we aren’t acting as His children- Deut 32:5-6
