Having the attitude of Christ in PhilippiansUnity in the church requires having the mind, love, Spirit, and purpose of Christ, which means eliminating the two great sins of selfishness and pride.Philippians 2:2

Pressing on to perfectionDoing nothing from selfishness or pride is a massive mountain to climb, but believers must press on to perfection, which means becoming like Jesus.

Obeying through the Holy SpiritWhile such commands were impossible in the Old Testament, God now gives believers the power of the Holy Spirit to actually obey them.

Experiencing God's blessing and favorGod looks with favor, blessing, and peace upon the person who is humble, contrite in spirit, and trembles at His word.Numbers 6:24–26Isaiah 66:1

Building the church like Noah built the arkJust as Noah was gripped by building the ark, believers should be gripped by building the church, which is the only thing that will remain.

Constantly examining our motivesTrue followers of Christ constantly examine their decisions to ensure they are not seeking their own interests or family's comfort over God's kingdom.

How Jesus built the churchChrist loved the church and gave Himself up to death, putting every personal desire to death for the sake of others.Ephesians 5:25

Avoiding selfish holiness and the desire for honorTaking up the cross just to be seen as holy or to gain the honor of being a leader is just as selfish as seeking money.

Constantly repenting of selfishness and prideBelievers must continually repent of self-centeredness and pride, asking God to show them the hidden selfishness and spiritual pride in their hearts.Philippians 2:5
