Unshackling Joy: The Source of Joy

One source of Paul’s joy is the relationship in the gospel he has with his dear Philippian friends: how they have partnered with him in declaring the gospel of Jesus, supporting him throughout his ministry, working with him in defense and confirmation of the gospel. He prays for them--that this great work of God in Christ Jesus would be brought to completion in them as they continue faithfully relying on God and growing in love for one another.
