Be of One Mind

When the Apostle Paul wrote to the believers at Philippi, he said: Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. (Philippians 2:1-2 NKJV)

Time and time again, the Bible tells believers to dwell together in unity. This is one of God's top priorities, and it should be a top priority for every believer. Jesus said, "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." (John 13:35 NKJV).

When Paul said, be of one accord and of one mind, what mind was he talking about? He goes on to explain: Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:5-8 NKJV).

If we, as believers, humble ourselves to do the will of God as the Lord Jesus did, we will have no problem dwelling together in unity.
