Spiritual Unity
Philippians 2:1-5
[1] If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, [2] Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. [3] Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. [4] Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. [5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Selfishness, making a good impression, or just looking to make a name for yourself. These are just a few characteristics that seem to be dominant in today’s world. Unfortunately, those things have also filtered into the church. These are things that oppose the things of God and can quickly tear down a church. People who are more interested in themselves or pushing an agenda, rather than looking to see God use them to help uplift the church. None of this means we should put ourselves down. If you are saved then you have great worth to God! Worth so much He sent his Son to die for you!
We all should look to be like minded, like Christ! If each us would look to esteem others, remain in fellowship with God, and look to serve others, we would all be like minded with Christ and could see Him do a great work in the church!
God bless you today!
