Paul summarizes the book beginning in verse 11.
1. Critics - Paul faced critics of the Gospel and of his ministry.
2. Cross - Paul's glory was in Christ and His finished work on the cross.
3. Cost - Paul had "marks" of ownership that proved his loyalty to Christ and the Gospel.
I should always consider the fruit and motives of those I follow. Christ must always have the preeminence. Be willing to suffer for Christ's sake!
Walk with the Lord and be willing to bear His mark!!!
