Explanation

(a) Paul began his letter to Philemon by first thanking God for the love which he learnt Philemon had in serving the Lord and toward the church. As Philemon's benefactor, Paul claimed that he had a right to command him to do his bidding but he would, however, not use compulsion.Rather, he chose to use persuasion in asking Philemon to accept back his former slave, Onesimus who had wronged him but had now become Paul's son in Christ. Again, Onesimus had previously made himself useless to Philemon, but now as a Christian, he could become useful to both Philemon and Paul. He was, therefore, sending Onesimus back with love-though he would have wished to retain him in his service in Rome. He would however not do so without first getting Philemon's consent in order to remove any shade of command. Paul then observed that Onesimus had departed from his master (for a short while) so that at his return, he might have him for ever, but this time, no longer as a slave, but more importantly, as a Christian brother. He, therefore, appealed to Philemon, if he still regarded him as a partner in Christ, to receive Onesimus back as he would receive Paul himself. If Onesimus owed him anything, he should charge same to his own (Paul's) account with assurance that he would pay it back on his next visit. In the mean time, he should prepare a guest room for him and pray to God to make his visit a reality.

Explanation

The notion that Christians were children of God was clearly shown in Paul's teaching on faith. His teaching further showed that the Christian were no longer held under the law. According to him, all Christians are sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, baptism to them means putting on Christ. To them there is no discrimination (neither Jew nor Greek, neither male nor female, neither slave nor free born) to any believer in Christ Jesus. He held the view that if we all Christ we are all Abraham offspring and heirs, because of the provision of the promise and the covenant. According to Paul, their sonship can be compared to a slave who owns the estate, but could not exercise control because he is held bound by the guardian. At appointed time, God sent His son born of a woman to liberate those who were held under the law. This redemption, enabled them to to be adopted as sons and have their freedom. On our adoption as sons through faith, we receive the spirit of His son in our hearts, since we are redeemed through Christ, we seize to become slaves but sons of God and fellow heirs of the kingdom. .
