scripture

The Book of Philippians

summary

Philippians forms believers around a vision of Jesus who humbled himself, suffered, and was exalted, shaping Christians into the same pattern of humility, unity, and sacrificial love. Because Christ is supreme and worth more than all else, suffering becomes participation in his mission rather than loss, producing joy, perseverance, and hope.
