Philippians 2:1-11

 

THE MINDSET OF CHRIST

Keywords 2:5

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

 

1. Being united with Christ and one another (1-4)

 When we are united with Christ, we are encouraged and comforted by his love,

fellowship, and Spirit and know Christ’s tender compassion. Our unity with Christ

is not just for our gain, but also so that we can have unity with other believers. We

have true joy when we have one love, one mind, and one Spirit, which leads us to

think of others.

 

2. Having the mindset of Christ (5-11)

 In our relationships with others, we should strive to have the mindset of Christ,

who humbled himself completely. He gave up his glory and privilege as the Son

of God and humbled himself to be a servant. He became obedient even to death

on a cross. Now, every knee will bow and all will acknowledge him Lord of all.

We need to learn the mindset of Christ to be completely humble and obedient to

God’s will, following him.

 

Prayer Lord, forgive my pride that hinders me from being humble, obedient, and

united. Teach me the mindset of Christ.
