Grudem, SystematicTheology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine Philippians 2:1–11 (ESV) — 1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, anycomfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,2 complete my joy by being of thesame mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition orconceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to hisown interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in ChristJesus, 6 who, though he was inthe form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking theform of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becomingobedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the namethat is above every name, 10 so thatat the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and underthe earth, 11 and every tongueconfess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  (v25-26)LIVE IN THE FREEDOM OF A CLEAN CONSCIENCE & GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY    Psalm 24:1 (ESV) — 1The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwelltherein,
