Our attitude reveals our approach to life, and our outlook. It reveals what is in our heart to
others. Do they see the attitude of
Christ in us? What is the attitude of
Jesus?
Have this
attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who,
although He existed
in the form of God,
did not regard
equality with God a thing to be grasped,
but emptied Himself, taking the form of a
bond-servant,
and being made in the likeness of
men.
Being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient
to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
For this reason also, God highly exalted
Him,
and bestowed on Him the name which is
above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW,
of those who are in heaven and on earth
and under the earth,
and that every tongue will confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed,
not as in my presence only, but now much more in my
absence,
work out your salvation with fear and trembling;
for it is God who
is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
(Philippians 2:5-13 NASB) *
