Introduction
We know that Paul is the writer of the book
The book of Philippians was written as Paul was in prison.
The Church of Philippi was a church started by Paul.
Philippi is a Roman Colony in Macedonia.
this city was filled with older and retired Roman soldiers.
so it was known as a a very patriotic town
Paul had to deal with a lot of resistance for saying to these people that Jesus was the one and only King.
This lead to Paul’s followers having to deal with the same resistance and prosecution
So this letter is for the Church that is dealing with issues from there government in what they believe as well as dealing with the possible desire to go back to what they once knew.
The Theme of the book
to be in pursing in Christlikeness
v.1-2
Paul’s greetings
bond servant - slave of Christ Jesus
to the saints/believers of the church with the overseers (pastor, teachers, ministers) and deacons (servants)
v.3-5
Paul thanks God for them and he reminds them that he is thinking on of them.
and the fact that they are have been in the faith
v.6-7
Paul expresses to these people that he has confidence that the good thing (being in Christ) that the good things that God started will be complete.
Paul was thrown into prison for his faith.
So we have Paul, who is in prison.
is able to be a comfort and encouragement to people that are also in the faith
v.8-11
Paul wants to make sure that there love continue.
This is Paul’s prayer
the love will continue and be stronger
this prayer is so that they may be well in Christ and to remain faithful until the day of Christ
What is the day of Christ?
The day of Christ, or the Last day, or the Day of the Lord is the time of Judgement that the Lord will act on.
So Paul’s hope is that the believers would remain faithful in love until the day of Christ
