2. For your Fellowship unto the furtherance of the gospel from the
first day until now - Phil. 1:5
1 Fellowship here means participation, communication. The saints in
Philippi had fellowship unto the gospel, participating in the furtherance of the
gospel through the apostle Paul's ministry. This participation included their
financial contributions to the apostle (4:10, 15-16), which issued in the
furtherance of the gospel. This kind of fellowship, which kept them from
being individualistic and diversely minded, implies that they were one
with the apostle Paul and with one another. This gave them the ground for their
experience and enjoyment of Christ, which is the main point of this book. The
Christ-experiencing and -enjoying life is a life in the furtherance of the gospel, a
gospel-preaching life, not individualistic but corporate. Hence, there is
the fellowship unto the furtherance of the gospel. The more fellowship we
have in the furtherance of the gospel, the more Christ we experience
and enjoy. This kills our self, ambition, preference, and choice.
