Can Christians be joyous all the time? We might turn in our Bible to the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians to answer that question. The book of Philippians has been known as the Joy Epistle. Actually‚ rejoicing is a recurring theme in all of Paul’s letters. Joy bubbles out of every pore of his life. Even from his jail cell‚ Paul’s soul was overflowing with joy. He encouraged the church in Philippians 1:4‚ that he is praying for them with joy because of their partnership with him in the

“If I give away everything I own so that I may boast but do not have love‚ I gain nothing.” In this verse from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians‚ Paul gives an important message. Paul says to them if you do something just to get others approval and not because you actually care‚ then you gain nothing and it is a waste. If you can’t do something with your heart then it’s not worth doing at all. A kind action should not require recollection or anything in return‚ a kind act should come from your heart

In Paul’s writing to the Galatians‚ Paul uses several arguments to convey the idea that the God saves sinners by faith. Galatians 3:1-5‚ is Paul’s own personal argument for faith‚ and considering Paul’s use of the word bewitched‚ translated from Greek as being charmed‚ it appears that the source of the Galatians trouble might be some sort of mysticism. Thus‚ Paul uses some very strong and repeated words‚ to justify his argument for faith over the law. In verse 1‚ the Greek word anoetos‚ carries

Cather’s admiration for Antonia is very clear throughout the book in my own opinion. Antonia goes through lots of difficult hardships like her father’s sudden suicide and her fiance leaving her while pregnant‚ but she continues to percervere and take care of her family no matter what the circumstances are in her way. She is generous‚ vivacious‚ and an inspiration for girls everywhere. An example of this is shining through especially when Mr. Harling stated “You’ve been going with these girls who

Theme: The theme of Paul’s letter to the Colossian church is the centrality and supremacy of Christ. Christ is “the image of the invisible God” (1:15)‚ “before all things” as the One who holds all things together (1:17)‚ and the “head of the body‚ the church”. We can see that the Colossians were growing steadily in their faith in Christ and love for fellow believers (1:4) after first hearing the gospel roughly five years prior. That Paul continuously seeks to reaffirm the absolute authority and complete

While an examination of Paul’s Letter to Philemon suggests that the Bible calls for leniency in the treatment of fugitive slaves‚ especially when master and slave both share the status of being Christian‚ contrasting Paul’s treatment of Onesimus to the treatment fugitive slaves typically received at the hands of the Roman system of slavery that Paul was familiar with makes this fact virtually undeniable. Furthermore‚ it strongly suggests that the Bible breaks from systems of slavery that encourage
