(Philippians 2:5-18) Work Out Your Salvation

The apostle Paul then encourages the church in Philippi to imitate Jesus by having the same mindset as Him. Our passage emphasizes the humility and exaltation of Jesus Christ. It describes how Jesus, being in the form of God, willingly humbled Himself and took on the form of a servant, even unto death on the cross. As a result of His obedience and sacrifice, God exalted Him and bestowed upon Him the name that is above every name, so that every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
