It’s natural to want to fit in with the crowd. As Christians, however, we must be cautious about whom we follow. Warning against enemies of the cross who were infiltrating the Church to influence believers, Paul encouraged his readers to be discerning and follow his example as he followed Christ.

By trusting in God’s providence and promises, we too can learn to rejoice in all circumstances and display faith that is attractive to a watching world.

In Volume 2 of this series, we learn to think like Christians as Alistair Begg explores Paul’s warnings against false teachers, as well as his exhortations to submit to the Lord’s instructions and be content with His provision. Saved by grace and focused on eternity, we should subject every aspect of our lives, from relationships and goals to finances and entertainment, to God’s will, framing all with prayer and godly thinking.
