Paul greatly desired for the Philippian Christians to have the same mind and to be of one accord, doing nothing from rivalry but counting others better than themselves in humility (Philippians 2:1-4).
The Philippians were to have the mind they were given in Christ Jesus, who being equal to God, proved willing to humble Himself, taking on the form of a servant, made in the likeness of men.
He humbled Himself further by suffering the most ignominious form of death.
On account of this God exalted His name to be above every name: every knee will bow at the name of Jesus, and every tongue will confess Him as Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
How can we truly find #salvation in Jesus?
