 Today’s Thought “Life’s Goal” G. Ward

Philippians 2

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 

 

This charge is perhaps the most literal and preeminent precept to living a new life in Christ and whereas the kind of introspection that should exist (daily) for believers can mostly identify wrongdoings in others (because of a common view), the earthen contrast of how I match the Savior’s sacrificial attitude is mandated to become the only one, promoting a merciful patience shown me. Devotion unto these commands will allow a perfect peace to overcome a plight common to man, inviting others’ inquiry in how they too can obtain such (cf. Ac.16:25-32).
