 Scripture
Study for the week of August 28th, 2006
Paul was in physical suffering, under emotional anguish, and facing possible death yet he rejoiced (Philippians 1:13, 16, 20, and 18). .Paul’s life was all about Christ. He rejoiced in his difficulty with the sanctified perspective that . . .
- The gospel was advanced by his bondage (Phil
1:13)
- Believers were encouraged by his example (Phil
1:14)
- Jesus Christ was magnified by his opponents (Phil
1:15-18)
- Death was sweetened by his experience (Phil 1:19-23).
5) Life was clarified by his joy of others blessed (Phil 24-26)
With a sanctified heavenly perspective each of us may also rejoice when we fall into divers temptations (James 1:2-5).
