As the beginning of Paul's letter to the church at Philippi, this opening passage reflects the optimism and hope that Paul felt toward this church, the first in Europe. Paul expresses to them that he is confident that the work of redemption that God had begun in them collectively would indeed be continued until its completion. Paul had ample reason to be confident as he had himself seen the power and faithfulness of God in his own life and was well aware of God's Covenant faithfulness to his people Israel throughout their history. Therefore Paul could share his confidence with the church at Philippi knowing that his trust in God would not be misplaced, the work of God would indeed continue as the message of grace and peace through faith in Christ planted seeds that sprout to this day.
