Humility: It's not about us (Phil 2:3-8)

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Philippians 2:3‭, ‬5 NIV

We must desire to have the same mind of Christ. (Phil 2:5)

When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
James 1:13‭-‬15 NIV
http://bible.com/111/jas.1.13-15.NIV

Who do we look up to? We adopt the attitude of Christ, or someone else.
- Be obedient to God (Phil 2:8)

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20 NIV

- Live to serve, not to be served (Phil 2:4)
