We can't add to God's work of salvation, but we can cooperate with Him in our own growth. Philippians 2:13 says that God will give us not only the power to do His will, but also the desire.

Because of how Jesus humbled Himself, God has exalted Him. And because Christ is our Lord, we should emulate Him - we should humble ourselves and become the servants of all.

Crucifixion was a uniquely horrible form of execution. So when Philippians says that Jesus was "obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross," it shows the true humility of Christ.

Though He was "true God from true God,"? Jesus came to earth to be a servant. Jesus lived His life in submission to the Father - and we are never more like Jesus than when we humble ourselves.

It's common to hear people say Jesus never claimed to be God. But He did - many times. So it's important to have the right answer to the question that He asks each of us: "Who do you say that I am?"

Host: Pastor Skip Heitzig

Paul exhorts us to be more concerned for others than ourselves because the world will not provide this care - and because we belong to Christ. The love of Christ in us is the catalyst, and we are part of His family.

Today's culture could be called "The Age of Self," when people are more concerned with their own desires than with other people. The Bible teaches exactly the opposite?to esteem others better than yourself.

Standing up for Christ makes your actions shine like a bright light against a dark background. You will become a target for unbelievers, but don't let that scare you. Remember your reward.

Living for Christ, as pictured in Philippians 1, requires consistency?what you do should match what you say. It also requires unity with other believers, working together rather than fighting among ourselves.

In Philippians 1, Paul talks about desiring to depart this world and be with Christ, "which is far better." But he is also willing to remain in the world for the benefit of the believers, to help them progress in their faith.

As a Christian, you are a citizen of two worlds. But if your focus is on your personal comfort in this world, you risk becoming materialistic if things are going well, or fatalistic if they?re not.

A survey showed that fifty-one percent of Christians fail to share their faith because they are fearful of other people's reactions. But the world is bold about its sin, and we should be as bold about Jesus.

One statement sums up the outlook on life of the apostle Paul: "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." He was confident of God's deliverance, either out of his circumstances or through them.

Our concern should always be with the message of Christ. Instead of focusing on troublesome people, we should build up those who edify and encourage, and then partner with them to build up the church.

Troublemakers may be found in any church, and they?re easily identified?they tend to be jealous, argumentative, and selfish. Paul wrote about such people in Philippians 1, the ones who tried to add to his troubles.

Paul's perspective on his imprisonment was that even in this, the gospel was furthered. He was able to reach the elite Roman guards with the message of Christ, and through them the house of Caesar itself.

Paul's passion was for the furtherance of the gospel. But the things that had happened to him?his arrest and imprisonment?seemed like an interference with that goal. Yet, God had a plan even in this.

The love of a Christian should be pure. That means it should be without any hypocrisy or ulterior motives. A Christian's love should glorify God, because this is the ultimate purpose of all love, and of all of life.

Paul tells the Philippians that their love should abound?that is, be plentiful and growing. Further, it should be perceptive: It should be appropriate to the situation, and based on knowledge rather than emotion.
