Phili 1:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8 : Paul calls God as his witness to show how true his feelings are. He says, God is my record how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:8 ). This means Paul’s love for them is very strong and comes from the deep compassion that Jesus Christ has for people. Paul wants the best for every believer in Philippi, not just the important or wealthy ones, but everyone. His longing is not just human affection; it is the same kind of love and care that Jesus has for His people. Paul’s example teaches us to love others with the same deep, Christ-like compassion.
