Read the entire book of Philippians in one sitting.
1. How would you describe the mood of the letter?
2. What appears to be his attitude toward his circumstances, the Philippians, other people and himself?
Repetition is one way to see what is important in a book of the Bible.
3. What words or ideas are repeated in each of the following sets of verses?
1:27; 2:2-4; 4:2-3
1:5,7;2:25; 4:14-15
1:4, 18,25;2:2,17-18; 3:1;4:4-10:
4. From your first readings of Philippians, what seems to be Paul's chief aim for writing this letter?
5. If you were in prison, what kind of a letter do you think you would write? What would you say?
Application:
Since application is an important step to the study of God's word, you need to ask yourself, "What difference should this passage make in my life? How should it make me want to think or act?" Application takes time, thought and prayer and maybe even input from someone else.
Pick one area that you think God is speaking to you and write down some ways you can apply this to your life today.
