MINDSET OF CHRIST

Having the mindset of Christ is a call to action for all Believers. It reveals the humility and selflessness that defined Jesus's life and ministry.



Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God. Philippians 2:5-6



Jesus did not cling to His divine privileges. Instead, He emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant and becoming one of us.



This incredible act of humility is central to our understanding of how we are to live as Believers. The example Jesus gave teaches us that true greatness in the Kingdom of God is not about exalting oneself but lowering oneself in service to others.



When Paul urges us to have the same mindset as Christ, he invites us into a lifestyle of humility, selflessness, and servitude. 



Our society often values personal ambition, status, and self promotion. However, the Kingdom of God operates on a different set of principles. Humility and service are the pathways to honor and fulfillment in the Kingdom of God.



Reflecting on the example Jesus gave us can inspire us to reassess our attitudes and actions. Are you living for recognition and accolades, or are you content to serve quietly, seeking only to glorify God? 



Jesus did not demand His rightful place; instead, He chose to become one of us and ultimately gave His life for our sake. 



Living with the mind of Christ means looking beyond our own needs and desires and prioritizing the well being of others. 



It means being willing to lay down our lives, figuratively and sometimes literally, for the sake of our brothers and sisters. 



We should be humble in all our interactions, recognize that we are no better than anyone else, and know that our true worth is found in Jesus alone.



Live each day with the humility and selflessness of Jesus. By doing so, you honor God and reflect His love to the world around you, fulfilling your calling to be Christlike in all you do.


Do you need Prayer? We are here to pray with you.



Heavenly Father, I am so thankful my eyes have been opened to truth, and I am a child of Yours. My eyes have been opened to understanding how we are to live as Believers. It is found in Your Word, and I want You to live within me so others see You in me by my actions and ways. I thank You for the strength through Your Holy Spirit within me to live a life that glorifies You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.


Live Each Day With The Humility And Selflessness Of Jesus. By Doing So, You Honor God And Reflect His Love To The World Around You, Fulfilling Your Calling To Be Christlike In All You Do.
