Paul's letter to the Philippians is among the most warm-hearted of his writings and is full of joy and encouragement. Perceptive as always, Paul cautions his readers to beware of those who supplant grace with religious legalism or moral license. He also urges them for the sake of the gospel to strengthen their unity in Christ.

This letter contains many sublime truths about Christ and the gospel. Paul writes passionately and autobiographically, reminding us that true theology is thrashed out in the realities of life, not in the aridity of the study. Central to his life is the gospel, and central to the gospel is Christ Jesus Himself. To know Him, to become like Him, to fulfill His destiny for our lives, to attain the resurrection from the dead, is the meaning and motivation of life itself. This study should inspire individuals and groups with the same passion as they study this letter together.
