Scripture Reading: Philippians 2:1-18
Do I have the mind of Christ?
--To have the mind of Christ one must be humble (v.8).
--If one is humble toward God he will also be obedient to God.
--If one is humble they will not be prideful and focused on self but will care about others (v.4).
--We are to obey God (not just to be seen of others) always (even when we are alone).
--Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling (v. 12).
--Not complaining, but being lights in this world (v. 14,15).
It is all in the heart. Do I desire to please God or be seen of men? This will determine the way I act and the things I do no matter if I am alone or with others.
I am striving to have the mind of Christ daily. I want to always keep in mind that great sacrifice He made for myself and all the world. Serving God is the most important thing in this life. All else is vanity Ecc. 1:14.
