Paul compares the glory of the gospel with the glory Moses saw on Mount Sinai.

David charges us to "forget not His benefits." This is essential for believers maintaining their zeal and fire for the Lord Jesus Christ. Forgetfulness of God's work in us is a rust that eats away at our spiritual lives.

Paul thanks the Philippians for their gift to him, but also teaches them that he is content in Christ regardless of the circumstances he endures. He truly can do all things in Christ.

Paul continues the practical section showing the church how to stand firm in the Lord.

Paul begins winding up his letter to the Philippians by pointing to a particular situation in the church. Paul admonishes two women to put aside their differences for the gospel's sake, and exhorts the church to help them for the sake of Christ. Their fight is not with an outward enemy, but with pride and self.

Paul examines two types of people, one is chasing after Christ, pressing for the mark of the high calling. The other group is chasing after their goodness in their own works of the flesh and the world.

Peter begins the epistle showing what Christians have been given in their salvation, as well as their responsibility in striving to be more like Christ.

Paul demonstrates the gospel focus of the Christian life. He focuses on a single goal. He presses for the mark, which is to perfectly know Christ. Forgetting everything behind, he strives to grow in Christ

Jesus warns the disciples that their works do not place God in their debt. This is imperative for us in understanding the gospel's central role in our lives and our fight for holiness and service
