Will it follow the commands and teachings of those who are once and forever used? Will they follow Christ, who overthrows the ruler and authority and overthrows them with the cross? Pauls cry of living as a totally different paradigm as a Christian who confesses Christ primarily!In the first century Asia Minor, various challenges stemming from various religious climates confused the church. In response, Paul focuses the church on the sufficiency of Christs work and on his will for the life of the saints. Through these christological lenses, he criticizes religious practices that fail to meet the true gospel and suggests a lifestyle that reveals Christs dignity in all areas of life. On the other hand, Paul asks Phil to reestablish a basic human relationship in light of Christs Lord. The two correspondences assert that Christ is the sole Lord of all and must conform to beliefs and practices of believers.
