Gospel Message and Saint Paul Ethical Instruction

The Letter of St. Paul to the Philippians is quite short of only four chapters. The letter is full of all the passion of Paul to the Gospel and the Church. The ethical instruction in the chapter two is strongly related to the Gospel Message. The Church of Philippi appears, from this letter, as a particularly dear to the Apostle Church. With Paul it has always had positive relationships of great communion and collaboration with the ethical instruction (Knox, 1950). To Philippi is a community to which Paul leaned willingly and with whom he agreed to help him in his work and in his difficulties, because of the particular relationship of great trust and love that bound him to those brothers. He has also given importance to the ethics. Paul was particularly concerned about the fact that he protects his understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus with the Jewish or reversing the direction of Hellenistic religious and philosophical concepts. Commissioned Christian communities he founded in the ethical behavior of the correction of defects and offer advice (Knox, 1950). The book describes the acts of a typical model of Paul ministry that began by sermonizing in the synagogue, but was soon debarred as rabble Rouser, and after that with a little number of Jewish favorer of Paul to the Gentile, a great number of conversions and sometimes encounter problems with the civil authorities. Paul always related his messages with the Gospel. Again, what matters is that the instructions itself, and the lessons that Paul gives to the Christians of Philippi, we focus in order to obtain all the light in the Lord through Paul has come not only to Christians of Philippi, but to all believers in him over the course of time, until the day of the Lord, to whom we are hearing the same as they were Christians at Philippi (Knox, 1950).

Genesis 1:3

The Genesis looks like a work etiological beginning with the creation of the world, and then talks about how God created living beings, and finally the man. It follows the story of the first humans and then the origins of the people of Israel, beginning with the lives of the patriarchs. Contains, therefore, the historical basis for religious ideas and institutions that form the basis of the state of Israel, and serves as an introduction to its history and its laws, customs and legends.

The book of Genesis tells us of God not only as the Author who has created everything, as seen in Ch: 1, but as the single authority who has a purpose and plan for mankind. Under this plan, we have to live in an association of agreement and submission to God (as well as trust and love for him. (Brueggemann, 1982)) Thus, God appear to us as legislator, who gave the directive to Adam not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden (Genesis ...
