Philippians 1:1-6

Philippians 1:1-6

We now begin the book of Philippians. The theme of this wonderful letter is living the Christian life. How we all need to be living the Christian life in these last and perilous days. There is a focus on joy throughout this letter. Paul was not in the best of circumstances at the time of this letter, yet his life is filled with joy. As believers, we will be face with trials, temptations and tribulations, yet in it all, joy must be our constant companion. It is the severe trials and tribulations of life that will reveal the depth of the joy that we have in Jesus. It is then that the joy of the LORD becomes our strength.
