Philippians 1

Philippians 1, we emphasize the importance of delving deeper into the book of Philippians. We removed the obstacles and distractions to better understand the chapter and letter's purpose and encouragement. Paul focuses on the significance of standing firm in the faith of the gospel and emphasizes the role of grace, peace, and unity in the Faith of the Gospel of Grace. Paul lays out his Joy which he has in the Philippians which is because their underlining Joy is in the Hope of the Gospel of Christ, and Paul encourage the Philippians that to continue to grow in this they must put on a new Love which is not our love or the Love that is found in the world, but is a divine Love, an Agape Love, which has no bounds. Paul gives deeper understanding and experience of this Agape Love, that it brings our situations and our relationships into context within our life. A life of Christ is a life that Love is found in everything, and that everything happens for a reason, and the way we get through our present situation and circumstances is in unity with and walking with the Lord and what the Lord holds dear and does everything through, His Word and His Church. We hold these two in such high esteem because God does and has chosen to work everything through them.
