If you think that these two things are the same, you&#8217;ve better think again and you better stay with us for this life study program from the book of Philippians.<\/p>\n<p>We need to live a life that is the expression of Christ Himself.

We are really seeing a kind of Christian living or a kind of life that expresses Christ and not just good Christian behavior.
