Philippians 2:14-15 rightly divided. The command to do all things without murmurings touches the walk, not the standing. You are a son of God and a light already, by grace. Murmuring cannot dim the light; it only gives the world a complaint and muffles the word of life you hold forth.

Grace teaching clears the believer off the law's treadmill — but then what do you actually do? This study builds Paul's constructive mechanism of sanctification: know the finished fact, reckon it, yield your members, and let the mind be renewed — distinguished from both law-keeping and let-go-and-let-God passivity.
