1.What was Paul’s general admonition to the saints and overseers in Philippi?

Back to Study the Book of Philippians

"Rejoice in the Lord."

It is a wonderful revelation of the power of Christ to realize that Paul, who was living in distressing circumstances in a military barracks, awaiting his trial before a government that had become wicked, was encouraging people who were not in prison to keep on being glad and happy in Christ. An immature saint would have been bemoaning his own circumstances, pleading continually for prayer that he would be delivered "from the devil."
