We could all use some good news right now and the book of Philippians is full of good news. The term Good News is mentioned 10 times in this short, 4-chapter book. As Paul penned this letter from prison to his beloved church in Philippi, he gives us an example to follow. The book of Philippians teaches us how the Good News has the power to shape our everyday life and live it out with peace, joy and contentment.
How Good?

As we continue to navigate the storms of life raging all around us, who is looking to you to provide direction and a sense of hope in the midst of them? One of the greatest gifts you can offer someone during times of crisis is a non-anxious presence and Philippians 4 is full of practical help for how to do that. What we dwell on in our heads determines the condition of our heart.
Press On

Paul wrote the book of Philippians during one of the most challenging seasons of his life – imprisonment, abandonment, betrayal and facing execution. Yet no other book of the Bible is filled with as much Joy as Philippians. Paul’s peace of mind and settled spirit were rooted in authentic Good News. His focus remained steadfast on Jesus as he pressed on toward the prize of Christ-likeness and Heaven.
The Benefit is Ours

The Good News of Jesus just keeps coming. Those who belong to Christ have so many spiritual blessings in Him—encouragement, comfort and fellowship with the Holy Spirit! Through the Holy Spirit, we now have the mind of Christ and we can choose to live in that power: in unity, humility and with tenderness and compassion. Our lives are no longer lived for ourselves, but for the benefit of others.
