Renewal Requires Dying Unto Oneself
Philippians 2:5-11 (NLT)
5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though he was God,
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
1. It’s difficult to kick bad habits and stay on course.
2. To get back on track we must first decide whom we worship and follow.
3. For God to renew us we have to empty ourselves and let Him fill us.
4. Our ultimate goal is to have the attitude and mind of Jesus Christ.
