The teachings and exhortations of the Book of Philippians are the exact standards of truth and guide to present situations that the church today urgently needs amidst internal troubles and external threats. They also serve as a mirror for each and every believer to examine their own heart. The core of the gospel 'in Christ, by grace alone, living for the Lord, and contentment in the Lord', and the three essentials of a godly life 'joy, prayer, and thanksgiving', as well as the Christian's three perspectives 'on life, values, and worldview', are all concisely and clearly presented in the Book of Philippians. How do citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven 'live for Christ, live out the gospel, and wait for the Lord's return'? Please listen carefully to the message of Philippians, and follow this 'Way of Life'! This book provides concise and to-the-point exegesis of the original text, organized by sections and examined verse-by-verse. After a contextual introduction, there are thirty-two lessons, each with discussion questions, detailing sound doctrinal truths and focusing on the application to godly living. The purpose is to help readers carefully study the essence of Philippians, and is suitable for individual daily devotionals, family worship sharing, fellowship group Bible studies, and Sunday school Bible courses. It is hoped that believers will come to know more about the abundantly rich content of Philippians, keep a heart of thanksgiving, in Christ rejoice in the Lord, and live out the Gospel! ! !
