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

Lofty theology must lead to practical action. After wrapping up his discussion of the humiliation and exaltation of Jesus Christ in Philippians 2:6–11, Paul turns his attention to the everyday matter of Christian living. As Christians gain inspiration from the example of Jesus Christ, they are to put their faith into action by living in humble service to God and one another. In this lesson, Dr. Lawson examines Paul’s instructions to the Philippian church and discusses what it means for believers to respond to God’s grace by working out their salvation with fear and trembling.
