Christ won the victory. We rejoice because Christ has won the victory (Phi 4:4). His prize is manifest when the saints are translated and enemies subdued (Phi 3:20-21).

"The Lord is at hand" (Phi 4:5) means that He is watching; He is with us. "Be anxious for nothing ... and the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Phi 4:6-7).

From Series: "Philippians - Profiles in Providence - Florida 2008"
Philippians 1:12 starts out "Now I want you to know brethren that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the Gospel". It's a key verse in the letter Paul wrote to those faithful believers while he was in chains.
