What does the Bible say about having an others focused attitude?

Scripture talks a lot about the need for us to choose the same attitude that Jesus exhibited throughout His lifetime.

In Philippians 2:3-4 Paul says,

 “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”

While Paul was encouraging the believers in Ephesus how to walk out their faith in Christ, compared to how the unbelievers around them were living … he says this in Ephesians 4:20-24,

“But you did not learn Christ in this way! If in fact you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, just as truth is in Jesus that regarding your previous way of life, you put off your old self , which is being corrupted through deceitful desires, and be continually renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, created in God’s image, in the righteousness and holiness of the truth.

It is by truth and a pursuit of righteousness that we must change our attitudes by renewing our minds!

We must grasp the reality that the Bible is our baseline for identifying the source of truth before we can embrace living day-by-day in our renewed Christ-like nature.
