The theme of Galatians is that the Law is no longer in effect. We are in the age of grace and salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ, not in keeping the law. Christ fulfilled the law and now we don't need this to reveal to us our sins, We as Christians have the Holy Spriit dwelling within us to convict us and teach us how we should live. Ch5:1 tells us we have liberty in Christ. Not to sin, but to be free to live for Christ. Santification is through the Spirit not the law. I hope this might help someone

The book of Philippians is a book that is meant to give you joy. You can find many pieces of encouragement throughout the book of Philippians.

During Paul's first visit to Philippi Paul and Silas were put in jail. While they were praying and singing praises to God in jail there was a great earthquake, opening all the doors of the prison and causing the prisoners' chains to be loosed. The jailer, thinking that the prisoners had escaped, was about to kill himself when Paul reassured him that his inmates had not fled. Then the jailer cried out, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" The memorable answer came back, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31).

About ten years later, Paul was in prison again t5his time in Rome. The Philippians had heard that Paul was in prison, so they sent a gift of money to him. Epaphroditus had been commissioned to carry this gift to Paul. After delivering it, he decided to stay there a while and help the apostle in his troubles. Epaphroditus himself became ill, in fact, he nearly died. But God had mercy on him and raised him back to health once again. When he was ready to go back to Philippi, Paul sent him back with a letter of acknowledgment.

In the letter Paul expresses his love and affection to them; gives them an account of his bonds, and the usefulness of them, and how he was supported under them; to encourage them under all the afflictions and persecutions, they endured for the sake of Christ; to excite them to love, unity, and peace, among themselves; to caution them against false teachers, judaizing Christians, that were for joining Moses and Christ, law and Gospel, works and grace together, in the business of salvation; to exhort them to a holy life and conversation, and to return them thanks for their kind present.

Philippians was written as a personal letter to the Christians at Philippi to express joy and encouragement in the face of suffering as it conveys to them Paul's circumstances at the time of writing. He exhorts them to have the mind, knowledge and peace of Christ. It encourages the Philippians to be humble and united by following the example of Christ.

Why was 2 thessalonians written?

An important reason for First Thessalonians appears to be that the Thessalonians had begun to fear that only those Christians who were still alive when Christ came to earth would participate in the parousia. Bart D. Ehrman (Forged) explains that Paul wrote to the Christians in Thessalonica because some of them had become disturbed over the death of a number of their fellow believers. When he converted these people, Paul had taught them that the end of the age was imminent and that they were to enter the kingdom when Jesus returned, but members of the congregation had died before it happened. Paul wrote to assure the survivors that even those who have died will be brought into the kingdom. In fact, when Jesus returns in glory on the clouds of heaven, "the dead in Christ will rise first; then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air" (4:17).A majority of biblical scholars believe that Paul was not really the author of 2 Thessalonians, but that it was written some time after his death. In this case, Second Thessalonians was not necessarily written for the Thessalonians, but for Christian communities where the first letter was being read. As Jesus had not yet returned and it had become clear that the return was not imminent, it became necessary to correct the record. Ehrman says the author of 2 Thessalonians argues that the end is not coming right away, and because certain things have to happen first, they will know when Jesus is coming. The clue to this epistle is how often Paul speaks of false letters being written in his name, and how he insists that everyone must obey his word as expressed in this letter. Even his earlier letter, 1 Thessalonians, is not authoritative enough nor, apparently, his teachings when he had been in Thessalonica or even the teachings of his emissary, Timothy. He protests too much, and if the author acknowledges that false letters were being written in Paul’s name, it may well be that this is one of those false letters.For more information, please visit:http://christianity.answers.com/bible/pauls-first-epistle-to-the-thessalonians-explainedhttp://christianity.answers.com/bible/pauls-second-epistle-to-the-thessalonians-explained
