Philipians 2:1-18
Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
He made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
Anything less is unworthy of the One whose life on earth is the supreme example of humility. It is because Jesus gave up all that was his by right - even his life- that God has given him the highest place of all is probably a quotation from an early hymn in praise of Christ - most modern versions recognize this by setting the text as verse. So his followers need to 'work out their salvation, by living our the new life God has given them.
Why?
Do not complain or grumble, for be a Christain should have the same mindset as Christ Jesus, live out the life of Christ, be humble and faithful to Christ.
Jesus is the Lord, and he did the sample in front of us. We should focus on Him and honor his name. Have a good relationship with everyone.
How?
It is hard to make it,but with the grace of the Lord and the help of the Holy Spirit, we can make it!
