Philippians
The letter Paul writes to this church is one of love,
support, and the desire that they press on toward the prize
(3:13-15). Amazingly, Paul writes this letter of
encouragement from a prison cell, not seeing his own
predicament as requiring sympathy, but knowing it is a
chance to further the gospel (1:12). Our attitude to the
situations and problems we face in this life will all hinge
on our relationship to Christ.
With this in mind, Paul starts by emphasizing that, as
believers, Christ is our life: “For to me to live is
Christ, and to die is gain” (1:21). Nothing should be
more important to us than Him. Christ should also permeate
our thinking: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in
Christ Jesus”(2:5). Christ should also be our
motivation, the reason to keep going: ”For our
conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the
Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ” (3:20). Finally, Christ
is our strength: “I can do all things through Christ which
strengthens me” (4:13). Paul closes this short letter with
one of the most powerful promises in the New Testament:
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his
riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (4:19).
