OUR FATHER WHO IS GLORIFIED WHEN WE YIELD THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

The book of Phillipians chapter 1 verse 9 says this;

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,

The apostle Paul, writing a letter with Timothy to the church at Philippi,  tells them that he has a particular prayer for them.

He prays that they would grow abundantly in love and that this love would gain a deeper knowledge and insight because, as he follows up in the next two verses, they would gain the ability to discern the best path and thus would be holy and blameless on the day of the Lord.

As well, they would be filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through the Lord Jesus Christ and which brings glory to God.

Phillipians chapter 1 verses 10 - 11 read this way;

so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

Amen.
