Adequate Spiritual Resources (verse1)
+ Appropriate Spirit enabled Response = Unity Application:
Questions to ask:
1. Do I strive to have the convictions as described by the Apostle Paul in Phil 2:1?
2. Am I submitting to the Spirit of God to enable me to strive for biblical unity?
3. Do I strive to relinquish selfishness and empty conceit?
4. Do I make a conscious effort to esteem others better than myself?
5. Do I actively think about the example of Christ and strive to follow His example?
What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice.
