Philippians 1:1-2
"Paul & Timothy” Summary
of Sermon #3 February 26, 2012
Steve
Hogan Paul,
one of the greatest Christians ever, was used by God in the 1st
century to start many churches and to write many of the epistles recorded in
the Bible. Paul gave His life totally to
the Lord and to the gospel. Timothy,
Paul’s friend and coworker, loved and served the Lord with Paul for close to 18
years. Their relationship illustrates
how we all need godly relationships in life.
Now Paul and Timothy were bondservants, better translated as
slaves. Jesus was their master, the best
one they could have, and that we can have too.
For only as we see ourselves as slaves of Christ can we be free from sin
and truly love and serve Christ.
This
letter is from Paul and Timothy "to all
the saints” - the holy ones, the righteous ones. They were saints "in Christ Jesus.” Being in
Christ means that we are spiritually identified with Christ, that we belong to
Christ, that He knows us, that we are secure in Him, that we are united with
Him, that we have a relationship with Him.
Paul also addresses the overseers and deacons who are in Philippi.
Paul
then speaks about grace and peace, a phrase that is found in every single one
of Paul’s 13 letters. Now grace, an
undeserved gift from God, is the divine power, blessing, goodness and favor of
God, and is what we need to do all that God wants us to do. Romans 1:5; Romans 3:23-2; Romans 5:2; Romans
6:14; 1 Corinthians 15:10; 2 Corinthians 9:8; 2 Corinthians 1:13; 2 Peter 3:18;
Revelation 22:21
