Rejoice in the Lord: Paul’s Letter to the Philippians

The Christian life begins and ends with God. As Paul has written in his letter to the Philippians, God is the One who has begun the good work of redemption in the lives of believers, and all human history is advancing toward the day when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Christ’s lordship, to the glory of God the Father. For Paul, this passion for God’s glory is a driving force that fuels the Christian’s day-to-day life. By reclaiming a greater focus on God’s glory, believers can experience greater joy, participate in deeper worship, and lead lives filled with eternal significance.
