Galatians is the declaration of the glorious freedom that Jesus has won for
all believers. It defends the truth of justification by faith alone, which
imparts to us incredible freedom in Jesus. Ephesians unfolds God's wonderful
workmanship in fashioning a new and invisible spiritual organism designated
as the body of Christ. It stresses true church unity. The purpose of
Philippians is to give thanks to the believers at Philippi for a gift that
they sent to Paul, and to correct friction that existed there. Paul gives words
concerning Christ as the believer's life, pattern, object, and strength. Colossians
discloses the fact that Jesus Christ is the head of the body which is the church,
and emphasizes that it is in Him that all the fullness of the Godhead dwells. I & II
Thessalonians contain a rich presentation of the truth of God designed for young
believers. Paul writes about thanksgiving to God, the secret of effective
Christian service, the believer's sanctification, and the coming of the Lord. Some
believed that they were already in the tribulations of the day of the Lord. Paul
corrects this misapprehension and encourages them to go on with the Lord. I & II
Timothy are addressed to men who have the responsibility for the administration
of local assemblies. These letters reveal God's will regarding doctrine,
church administration and discipline.
