Key Scripture: Philippians 2:3-4
The Christian life is one of increasing humility. But the idea that we should put ourselves first goes all the way back to the Fall. Paul gives Jesus as our example and motivation. Since we are one with Christ, Christians are to have His mind-set toward each other: having the same love, being of one mind, pursuing no rivalry, doing nothing from empty conceit, always prioritizing the interests of others. This, Paul says, brings him joy! Will we choose joy over pride?
SCRIPTURE MEMORY VERSE: Philippians 2:3-4
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
