The gospel is God's promise to save His people by the blood of Jesus Christ. It is the message of redemption accomplished and applied by the grace of God alone and experienced by the gift of faith alone. It is to the gospel we look as believers for all our acceptance with God and to Christ on the cross for all our example of how to libe in this world.

Because the Apostle Paul trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ he had confidence that whether he lived or died God would be glorified and Christ's church would be blessed.

The church at Philippi was anxious that the gospel of God would be hindered by Paul's extended period in prison. However, the Apostle wrote to reassure them that the Lord Jesus would accomplish all His purpose and that far from hindering the gospel "the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel". The Apostle explains why this is so.

The Apostle Paul prayed for his friends in Philippi that they might grow in gospel knowledge and spiritual judgment. He prayed they might learn to approve things that are excellent. He prayed they might be filled with the fruits of God’s righteousness in their hearts. What he prayed for them is a prayer of us all. Let us add our Amens!

The work of grace in the life of a believer is a work of God. It is Our Triune God who has begun the work of grace and it is He who will complete it until the end of our lives.

The Apostle Paul’s epistle to the church at Philippi teaches us the importance of grace and peace in the preaching of the gospel. Grace is God’s free gift and peace with God has been obtained for all who believe by the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ.  

The Lord Jesus Christ asks us to examine our hearts before God and see if we are walking in the light of Christ's saving work and gospel grace. He admonishes those who walk in darkness to return to the gospel and the Lord who first saved them.

David calls upon God's mighty angels to join him in blessing the Lord. Then he solicits the praise of the church of the redeemed in heaven, the church on earth and her ministers and every born-again child of God's workmanship. Finally the psalmist returns to his own soul and ours saying, Bless ye the Lord.

The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ was known and believed by God's servants of long ago just as surely as it is known and believed by His people today. David tells us that Christ made known his ways unto Moses so that Moses knew the gospel of distinguishing, sovereign grace and substitutionary atonement.

David's psalm of praise to God is a call to us all to bless the Lord from our soul for all His benefits. David expounds what these benefits are and calls every child of god to testify with him to the grace, mercy and love of God in Jesus Christ.

Trials are hard to endure but they carry in them the seeds of spiritual blessing for men and women of faith. James is encouraging the Lord's people to exercise patience, trust in the Lord and use the experiences of hardship as opportunities to grow in grace and deepen our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

James tells the church that the Lord of Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts hears their cries for help and will come in power with authority to judge the wicked and redeem His people.

James encourages the Lord’s people to reflect upon the fickleness of life and our own daily need of God’s help. He speaks of time and how fast our lives are spent. These matters should create humility in our soul which will draw forth God's grace for our daily needs.

James calls for humility amongst the Lord's people that we might by faith draw help from God's hand for our daily troubles.

Our Lord Jesus Christ gives grace to His people sufficient for all our daily needs, even when we don't know what to ask for and pray for as we ought. James calls us to be humble in our requests, trusting the Lord who knows knows what we need better than we know ourselves.

Righteousness is a free gift from God. Righteousness is imputed to sinners for their justification and imparted in the new creation. Jesus Christ is the Lord our righteousness and all who are in Him are pure and perfect in the new man as He is pure and perfect in us.

Paul was single-minded. He made it his determined approach to speak as becomes a servant of Jesus Christ, to speak as becomes an ambassador of God in a foreign land, to speak as Christ’s mouthpiece, as Christ’s tongue on this earth.
