Phillipians 3-4

What is the goal toward which Paul presses on? Where is our citizenship?

Paul presses on toward the goal to win the prize, for which God has called him heavenward. Paul is reaching for the goal of receiving his reward in heaven. Or, perhaps he is speaking about simply being in heaven as the goal of his earthly life.

Our citizenship is heaven, although many Christians believe we are citizens of this world.

How are we to rejoice and pray? What things are we to keep on doing.?

We are to rejoice always and pray always. And, I might add as we rejoice and pray, we receive the peace of God that surpasses all of our understanding and comprehension. God can bring us peace in the midst of much personal anxiety. If we remember to pray as he outlines, that is, with prayer, petition, thanksgiving, and letting God know what is on our mind. We are to keep doing the things that we have learned, heard or received from Paul
