Study 2 From the Book of
Philippians is: Philippians 1:12-26
1.
The
things that had happened to Paul must have seemed calamitous to those who loved
him. Why did he himself view the
situation differently? What lesson about suffering may a Christian draw from
Paul’s attitude?
2.
What
was Paul’s attitude as a Christian (a) to life, and (b) to death? What were his reasons for choosing one rather
than the other? What were his overriding
concerns? Have you faced every
possibility that lies before you in the same way?
3.
What
temptation in Christian service is it clear from this passage that Paul
steadfastly resisted? How had others
succumbed? What kind of slant might their preaching have had in relation to
Paul? In what shape does the same temptation come to us? What should be our
chief reason for Joy? Cf. Jn. 3:25-30.
