Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. Many people, even Chrisitans, live only to make a good impression on others or to please themselves. Paul therefore, stressed spiritual unity, asking the Philippians to love one another and to be one in spirit and purpose. When we work together, caring for the problems of others as if they were our problems, we demonstrate Christ's example of putting others first and we experience unity. Don't be so concerned about making a good impression on meeting your own needs that you strain relationships in God's family.
Selfish ambition can ruin a church, but genuine humility can build it.
It does not mean that we should put ourselves down. Before God, we are sinners, saved only by God's kingdom. We are to lay aside selfishness and treat others with respect and common courtesy. considering others' interests as more important than our own links us with Christ, who was the true example of humility. Philippi was a cosmopolitan city. The composition of the church reflected great diversity, with people from a variety of backgrounds and walks of life.
