Philippians 2:5
“Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,”
What does Philippians 2:5 mean?
Paul is calling us to adopt the same mindset that Jesus had, which he's about to describe in the verses that follow. He's not asking for something impossible or distant, but inviting us to actually think the way Jesus thought. This shift in perspective means choosing humility, considering others' needs, and trusting God even when the path seems costly. When life feels overwhelming or we're unsure how to handle a situation, this verse reminds us we can ask: what would this look like if I thought about it the way Jesus did?
