His Gospel

Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ. Philippians 1:27

"THE word "conversation" does not merely mean our talk and converse with one another, but the whole course of our life and behavior in the world. 
Q: What sort of conversation is this? 
In the first place, the gospel is very simple. So Christians should be simple and plain in their habits. There should be about our manner, our speech, our dress, our whole behavior, that simplicity which is the very soul of beauty. 
The gospel is pre-eminently true, it is gold without dross; and the Christian's life will be lustreless and valueless without the jewel of truth. 
The gospel is a very fearless gospel, it boldly proclaims the truth, whether men like it or not: we must be equally faithful and unflinching. 
But the gospel is also very gentle. Mark this spirit in its Founder: "a bruised reed He will not break. (Isaiah 42:3) " Some professors are sharper than a thorn-hedge; such men are not like Jesus. Let us seek to win others by the gentleness of our words and acts. 
The gospel is very loving. It is the message of the God of love to a lost and fallen race. Christ's last command to His disciples was, "Love one another." 
We must not forget that the gospel of Christ is holy
It never excuses sin: it pardons it, but only through an atonement
For His sake, for our own sakes, and for the sakes of others, we must strive day by day to let our conversation be more in accordance with His gospel." 
Charles Spurgeon
