Contributed by Seth Lawson on Apr 25, 2025

Lent 2: Paul warns the Philippian believers of a certain group of people he refers to as enemies of the Cross. In this warning, Paul refers to the destruction that awaits the enemies of Christ and the blessed Citizenship in heaven for the believer.

Beloved, I want you to know that there are forces that would call you away from Christ. The enemies of the Cross would like nothing better than to deceive people and lead them away Christ.
