UNSELFISH AND HUMBLE

 
Philippians 2:3
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." NIV
 
 
"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves." KJV

Jesus did not come to earth as God. He gave up his deity to become a man. That was the most unselfish act ever done. He was pure and sinless, yet died the death of a criminal. That was the most humble act ever done. We are to be like Christ. In our relationships with fellow believers, we are to give up our egos and human pride to love and serve others as He did.


Heavenly Father, forgive us for thinking of ourselves and failing to consider the needs of others. Help us to be more like Your Son, who gave himself and served all without thinking of Himself. We pray in His precious name, Amen.
