Paul wants us to have the same attitude and mindset as Christ. He begins Philippians 2 with some “If, Then” statements basically saying that since “this” is true, then you should be doing “this” and not be doing “this”. However, before we can put those things into practice, we must first delve into the mindset of Christ and try to understand how He could have left his home in Heaven to come to Earth as a bondservant and die a humiliating death all because He loved us.
