Philippians 2:1-2
[ Imitating Christ’s Humility ] Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
Being like-minded in and for Christ is a vital component to the Christian life. How can we claim the Christian banner as our own if the life we live is the polar opposite of that which Christ Himself set as the example. Now, we realize that people are not perfect, and perfect emulation of His example is nearly irrational. But, we all should work together to help each other escape the clutches and consequences of sin by encouraging each other to model His example to the best of our ability.
Living this way allows His example to be seen by others. This would give them a glimpse of who Christ is and what it means to be a Christian. We all must let go and let the Holy Spirit worked within us to bring us closer to God. It's time for us to unite as one church, under Christ, and together, bring glory to God!
