Christians have the mind of Christ. (1Chrinthians 2:16) When we put our self out of the way, we can think as Jesus thinks. The way we think in our hearts, molds who we are. (Proverbs 23:7 NKJV) It is only when we are yielded to the mind of Christ that we can emulate His humility. (1John 2:5-6)
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from
love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in
full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility
count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the
interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ
Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a
thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in
the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by
becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is
above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in
heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:1-11 NASB) [1]
