A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels. (Proverbs 1:5)

Philippians

Author: Paul

Period: c.61 A.D.

Summary:
The tone of this letter is more personal in nature than most of Paul's letters. Paul outlines his own beliefs and explains that believers must not be self-centered in their own lives. Each believer must look to Christ for an example of self-sacrifice and unity in purpose. Paul further contrasts enemies of the cross with those who are friends of the Lord Jesus and the cross. It is thought that Paul wrote this epistle while he was in prison at Rome.

CHRIST: THE SUFFICIENCY OF GOD TO US

Key Verses: But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, Philippians 3:7-8

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

Breakdown:

Christ our life: Chapter 1:1-30

Christ our mind: Chapter 2:1-30

Christ our goal: Chapter 3:1 - 4:1

Christ our strength: Chapter 4:2-23
