Paul now transitions into exhortations for living the Christian life. He begins by exhorting them to rejoice, a theme that runs throughout this book. Interestingly, Paul is encouraging them to rejoice despite his circumstance being far worse than theirs. 

Paul begins by reminding them of the basic doctrines of scripture. He lets the Philippians know that these continuous reminders do not bother him at all. In fact, Paul loves to do it because it offers the Philippians safety from false teachers.

Paul also lists out three characteristics of the true believer. First, they worship God in Spirit. Secondly, the rejoice always in Jesus. And finally, they have no confidence in the flesh. 

The key to living out these three characteristics is to hear God's word, know God's word and to live in obedience to God's word, regardless of cost or consequence.
