Have This Mind Among Yourselves
from PATHWAY CITY CHURCH Hosted by Pathway City Church
The church is made up of people who walk humbly, and therefore, have unity of faith and mind. However, several Christians subscribe to the definition of humility that has no foundation in Scripture: viewing one's self negatively compared to others. Biblical humility is the elevated perception of other people's interests and their significance. This message redirects our hearts toward the unifying nature of the Gospel and the importance of understanding its display of true humility. Philippians 2:1-11 (ESV) So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
