"If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the SPIRIT, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like minded, having the sameLOVE, being one in spirit and purpose. Do NOTHING out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also the interests of other.
Your attitude should be the same as that of CHRIST JESUS:
who being in the very nature of GOD
did not consider equality with GOD something to be grasped
but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
......HE HUMBLED HIMSELF."
One of the most major keys to LOVING people is having the attitude of humility. Without humility you are unable to walk as JESUS did. No servant is greater than his master. In MARK 10:43-45 Jesus speaks to his disciples about lowering themselves to become great. "..and whoever wants to be first must be a slave to all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many"
