Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
First of all, it’s a choice to let or allow the mind of Christ to be in us. The mind of Christ is not going to automatically download into our minds. For those who choose to have the mind of Christ, let’s look at the requirements.
Philippians 2:6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Breakdown: V. 6 Jesus was equal with God. V. 7 Jesus wasn’t here to bring glory to Himself, but to God. V. 8 Jesus humbled Himself and was obedient to God.
To have the mind of Christ, these same requirements should be in us. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17). Jesus and the Father are one (John 10:30). Since we’re in Christ and Christ and the Father are one, we become equal with God. Although in Christ, we’re equal with God, our mentality should be to bring glory to God, humble ourselves, and maintain our obedience to God.
Having the mind of Christ will bring us closer to God and bring more glory to God. Walk in it.
