Welcome to a another Bible Study of Philippians 4:5-7:

Let’s reason and take an inspiring verse by verse look at “Philippians 4:5-7“, followed with a Summary and Prayer.

Let your moderation be known unto all men. The LORD is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto GOD. And the peace of GOD, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through CHRIST JESUS. (Philippians 4:5-7)

Verse 5: “Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.”

Paul encourages believers to exhibit moderation or gentleness in their interactions with others. This trait is not just a personal virtue but a testimony to the character of CHRIST in the believer’s life. The phrase “The LORD is at hand” reminds us of the immediate presence and return of our LORD and SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST. This gives believers a profound sense of accountability and urgency to live out their faith in a way that reflects His love and grace.

Let this verse inspire you to maintain humility and gentleness, knowing that your life can be a powerful testament to those around you. As you reflect CHRIST’S infinite love, your actions can draw people closer to Him.

Verse 6: “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto GOD.”
