Paul was able to encourage the Philippian Church to be joyful because his mind had been completely transformed. He did not fix his eyes on worldly things, as they did not hold any meaning for him. He had complete faith in God the Father and Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Lord who would bring renewal and salvation to earth. Therefore, he had a completely different interpretation of life on earth.
