Promises from Philippians

He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Work out you own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

That I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

Our citizenship is in heaven and from it we await a Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me – practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.  I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

{Since the Philippians were so willing to supply Paul’s needs, he writes} And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
