Resolute & Rejoicing, Pt. 14 - A Protective Perspective (3:1-7)

As Paul pivots in the beginning of chapter 3, while still encouraging the Philippians to rejoice in the Lord, brings a warning to the church to guard against those who would distort the gospel by introducing works-based legalism. Paul reminds his readers, that if they think they have any reason to boast in who they are or what they can do, he has even more of a reason according to worldly standards. However, whatever gain that may bring, he counts it all as loss compared to knowing Christ!
