Philippians - Choosing JoySample

Reflection Questions:

1. Verse 6 says that Jesus will bring the good work in us to completion.  What does this mean?

2. Why is it important to couple love with knowledge and discernment (vs. 9)?

3. How did God turn Paul's imprisonment and sufferings to advantage?

4. What advantage is Paul referring to when he says, "to live in Christ"? What advantages might Paul be thinking of when he says, "to die is to gain"?

5. Paul talks about not being frightened by our opponents.  What might we be frightened of and how do we stand firm with courage?
