Philippians 2:1 says, If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,  Paul is basically stating truths as questions, or we might say asking hypothetical questions.  He was not doubting the truth of these things, nor should we ever today.  Verse two declares, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.  Paul said that if they accepted the truth of what he had just said, then he would hope that they would be like minded and of one accord.  If we today believe in the truth of salvation through Christ, then we should also be likeminded and of one accord.  Verse three adds, Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Paul called on the Christians at Philippi to not act out of strife or vainglory, but to act by putting their fellow believers above themselves.  There is no room in the church for strife and self glorification.  We must always put what is best for our fellow Christians above what is best for our self.  Verse four states, Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.  Paul tells us that we are not to be concerned just with whether what is going on is to be most profitable to us, but that we should be just as concerned with what is best for others as well.  Verse five declares, Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Paul calls on us to be like minded with Christ.  Verse six adds, Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  Then verse seven adds, But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:  Paul tells us that even though Jesus was an equal with God the Father, being a part of the triune nature of God, that He was willing to become a man, and with the nature of a servant.  If Jesus Christ was willing to do this, then we should likewise be willing to give up anything that we have so that God's will might be done in our life.  Verse eight continues, And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.  I have said this before, but I believe that Jesus became totally human, as capable of sinning as any other person, but by faith He did not sin.  If He were not capable of sinning, then He really could not die as a sacrifice for those who are and do.  I know many people disagree and say that Jesus was incapable of sinning, but if so, then we are called to follow a false standard in my opinion.  Verse nine proclaims, Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:  Because Jesus lived without giving in to sin, He is exalted above all other names.  We can only be followers of Christ and can never do what He did.  I also believe that we have the capability of living without sin, but we never live up to that capability. so the only way to be redeemed is through faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.  Verse ten adds, That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;  There is coming a day when every knee will bow to Jesus Christ, even those who deny His existence.  Verse eleven continues, And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  Not only will every knee bow, but every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord for the glory of the Heavenly Father.  Since we are eventually all going to do so, wouldn't it be better to do so in this life while it can still bring us salvation?
