Christ is our model for how to live out the command to put others first, to genuinely love and forgive each other, honouring each other above our selves.
We must always look to Jesus and allow his Holy Spirit to empower us to live the same life that he lived (and lives). When we love each other well, we bring glory and honour to God and we will be a witness to the love of Jesus as his love flows through us.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
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.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!Philippians 2:3-8
