This letter is from Paul \u2013 Philippians 1:1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul wrote the epistle to the Philippians. Did you know Paul was a prolific writer? During his three mission trips, Paul preached the Gospel in several cities around the Roman Empire. His preaching of the Gospel resulted in the founding of the Church in the significant cities of the Empire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul wrote many letters to these growing churches. Paul\u2019s letters also helped the churches address doctrinal issues, expose heresy, and deal with cultural challenges. Here are some lessons we can learn from the Apostle Paul:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul was uniquely gifted<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Although Paul was Jewish by birth, he was a Roman citizen. He grew up in Tarsus and firmly understood Greek culture and philosophy. Moreover, he was a student of the great teacher Gamaliel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, Paul was uniquely gifted with the expertise to expand the Gospel message. In his letters, Paul helped churches understand the theological significance of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ Jesus. Besides, these letters also explored the connections between Christ\u2019s being – belief and behaviour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul used his \u2018social location\u2019, \u2018education\u2019 and \u2018gift of writing\u2019 to serve the needs of individuals and churches across the Roman Empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul had a passion for writing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Paul wrote many letters to encourage spiritual growth and Christian witness. Paul was uniquely gifted, but you can\u2019t consistently write without passion. Paul would not have been able to write as many epistles to the churches without true love, genuine passion, and a sincere heart for discipling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
