What is the message for believers today who, like the Galatians, have been called to salvation in ""this present age of wickedness""? In studying Galatians, you will find a sincere attempt to answer this question as well as others that were critical to the people then, and to us today. Philippians offers a fresh understanding of the social situation and consequent pressures in Philippi in Paul's day. Paul holds up the humble submission of Christ as the pattern to be followed. The commentary thus seeks both to explain the meaning of the text and to show its application to the Church's life today. Colossians focuses on the all-sufficient Christ. The Lord Jesus deserves the place, not a place in the lives of Christians. The Colossian Christians were being diverted by alluring alternatives. Paul resisted this, as we must today in the face of extreme fundamentalisms and secular mysticisms. We must know the non-negotiable essence of the Christian gospel. An excellent resource for personal study, and especially helpful for those involved in the teaching ministries of the church, the Wesleyan Bible Study Commentary series will encourage and promote life change in believers by applying God's authoritative truth in relevant, practical ways. Written in an easy-to-follow format, you will enjoy studying Scripture insights that are faithful to the Wesleyan-Armenian perspective.

Some believers discover a disconnection between their expectations of grace in their lives and what it actually does in terms of lving the "" perfect life."" Frustration, temptation, fear, and doubt continue to be everyday experiences, contrary to what hopeful seekers expect. Wilson gives ""holy but human"" believers confidence in their relationship with God and offers practical advice for avoiding the hindrances that plague ordinary people in their pursuit of holiness.
