Series Information
Philippians is the most joyful book in the Bible. The apostle Paul uses the Greek words for joy and rejoicing sixteen times in only 104 verses. This is remarkable given Paul’s circumstances when he wrote the letter. He was in prison, most likely in Rome as Luke reports in Acts 28. As dreadful as this was for him, Paul is joyful because of what Christ has done, and he calls on the Philippian Christians to rejoice for the same reason in any and every situation. But he did not just write to the Philippian Christians; he also wrote for us! We can have the same joy as Paul in all circumstances because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel is the source of complete joy.
