Philippians Paul's Letter to the Churches Encouraging the Believer

Encouraging the Believer Paul wrote this letter to the church in Philippi because he remembered them fondly and rejoiced in the relationship he had with them. He encouraged the Philippian Christians to follow Christ's example, living out their salvation in unity, humility, and selfless service to others. He wanted them to understand the evil of the world in which they lived. He encouraged them to press onward toward the finishline forgetting that which remained behind.
