1:3 DIVINE POWER: This is another key word of the epistle. It ties to 1:16 where the two major themes of the letter appear: the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul identifies this as "the power of his resurrection" (Philippians. 3:10). It is a power which all true believers possess which enables them, if they choose to count on it, to do "all things through Christ who strengthens" (Philippians. 4:13).

It symbolizes his freedom in his youth as a link to his past but also his ultimate goal before he dies. The lions on the beach represent a place where he wants to escape, and explore once…

Its validity is under constant attack from those who doubt its credibility, and its claims about God and His Son Jesus must either be accepted as truth or rejected as counterfeit. Christians believe that the Bible is the Word of God, and that it fully and completely explains how to rightly live the…
