Jesus the Example

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness (Philippians 2:5-7, NIV).

Paul the Apostle emphasizes the importance of embodying Christ’s humility, meekness, and obedience among both believers and nonbelievers. Humility involves submission to God and to authority.
