Paul continuously shows gratitude to God and towards the Philippians as the Philippians continuously help Paul to preach the Gospel and spread the word of God. Paul is making a valiant attempt and effort to encourage and motivate the Church to glorify Christ by believing in God and the institution of the Church. Paul also encourages the believers of Christ by telling them to believe in themselves and God and not anyone else while following Christ. Paul is making an attempt to make the church be an epitome of the cruciform form of life being ready to motivate the parishioners to live fearlessly in Christ and worthy of the Gospel irrespective of any unforeseen or fatal circumstances.
